update on peaches (eva)

[Sweetpeaches]

well i heard from peaches (eva...her new name) mom last nite. below is her report
We have a new addition :
She did wonderfully. She was patient while I was shopping for toy making stuff.

So when we got home, Kheron was cleaning the bird room and making room for the cage. Eva was thirsty and she was so funny I put her in teh cage but had not put the dishes in yet so she was sitting at one spot where the bowl was and was like "helooooooo, they used to give me water where I used to live!!" so i gave her water and she drank right up. then she went right over to the other food dish area and was like "they also used to feed me toooooo" so I gave her the food and she ate up!! She was so cute she got in the dish and was sitting in there nestlike, while eating!! She had a good chirp session with everyone and then she let me take her out of the cage (she stepped up) and sat on Diego's tree while I put her toys in her cage. She then let me put her back in the cage and had a great time. Finally around 7pm she went to bed and I covered her. She was wonderful. Kheron loves the sound..so do I. She is more melodious of a chirper than anyone else here!!
We added Eva to her name becasue the process is I get to keep them but Kheron gets to name them!!!

i cried after i read the post..i was so happy/sad/happy.
thanks again everyone for your hugs and support

Thanks for the update. I'm glad it is working out for her!

Awww... I'm so sorry that you had to make this decision! I would have gladly offered to take Peaches in for you but I think that you've found a GREAT home for her :)

I never found the noise of lovebirds to be bothersome but some people really can't handle their chirps and squawks. You tried your best while Peaches was in your care and you should take pride in that.

Please continue to visit, Susan and update us on Peaches (aka Eva) and Bailey!

Best wishes,

thank you eliza...and i will keep in contact. i really love lovebirds and think they are darlings...also thank you for offering to take her. if my friend wouldn't of offered i was going to ask if any members here would've wanted to adopt her. as i know the dedication and love everyone on this forum has for their lovies. it's still hard...i miss her terrible. the only comfort i get is just trying to think about how happy she is with all her new fid buddies. at this point i don't think i could even visit her, cause it would hurt too much. i kinda was hoping my friend would post something today on the other forum i belong to but she didn't. but that's okay. time will heal my heart.

Oh my goodness! Please know you have done a very nice thing. You did what was best for this bird and she will be very happy in her new home. You are right, time will heal your heart. For now please find peace in knowing you did the right thing. Many people have read your story and are inspired by your actions. Bless you!

[Flapjack]

Oh, I'm so sorry you had to give her up! :very_sad:
I'm sure she'll do just fine in her new home with her new fidbros and fidsis'.
You made the decision out of love for her and for her happiness, even though it must have been hard on you.
(((HUGS)))

what a bittersweet moment reading that post must have been for you i'm so glad to hear that she went to a good home, and they already sound like they are in love with her. :)

[lemonypickett]

From the email she sent you can tell she is a caring woman and that peaches is in a good home. Rest easy, you have done everything anyone could ask for in being a good fid mom. Feel proud for finding the right home.

You done good.:wink:

[Sweetpeaches]

yes, i know peaches is in a very loving home...it's only been 2 days and i still miss her. and it is hard reading about her right now...(altho i really want to know how she's doing) right now it just reminds me of what i had to give up...a very sweet loving, full of spirit, little girl. i knew who ever got her would be getting a very special lovie..(i know we all feel that way about our fids)..even seeing her pictures still makes me get teary eyed. i know i probably sound a little crazy..but i was crazy about her.

i did get a smile today because she posted something about her flock and she said peaches had a "strong personality" and she didn't worry about her fitting in. she also made me smile cause she said peaches is ready for bed right at 7 pm..i had told her that. her other birdies stay up later.

i know i probably sound a little crazy..but i was crazy about her.

i don't think anyone thinks you're crazy - we all know how much you loved peaches, you must miss her like mad. eventually, you will fnd some relief when thinking about her knowing that she is being loved and cared for by a loving new fidma!!

for now...take care of yourself, and know that you have the support of your family here! :)

Sometimes we have to make decisions in life that don't make sense to us, but they have to be made none the less. I believe you made the right decision. I hope you are able to continue to see her (did you say it was a friend that took her?). It sounds like she is in good hands and at least you don't have to worry about that. All that having been said before... I am very sorry that you have to go through this. I hope you can get some relief in the fact that you know she is in a great home being cared for. I am sending good thoughts your way.

[Sweetpeaches]

well..she's a "forum" friend that i met on another forum. but i've met her personally also. she wrote again yesterday and here is what she said:

Susan,
I can not even imagine what you are going through because I can not imagine what I would do. We are just so happy to have her and glad that she is getting along with everyone. I would rather that I have her so you are able to see her and know how she is. You did not abandon her, you did everything that you could to make the best life for her. I can tell you did a good job because she is so sweet and friendly and that is a testament to you from what I read about how lovebirds need to be continually played with and socialized of they can revert back wild. You also did great because she is so friendly and has had absolutely NO adjustment time needed to settle in.

[wilkiecoco]

WOW!!!! that's wonderful!! i guess that's the best you could ask for at this point. i honestly think this is harder for you than peaches, as she seems to be settling beautifully. that should give you some measure of comfort, knowing that she is happy and being cared and loved. :)
