I miss you so much my boy 🤍

[pipertiel]

Can't believe it's going to be 3 years without you in January... you would have been 6 years old next July 💔

I wanted to tell you something that might ease your pain just a bit. Birds, rodents, and other small pets tend to hide symptoms of illness instinctively because in the wild, it would make them more vulnerable to predators. I had a Guinea pig who seemed fine one day and then had pneumonia the next and he died overnight as well. Please dont blame yourself for what happened: it's clear to anyone who followed you how much you loved Piper. Be well <3

I think I’ve heard this before... it’s very unfortunate but it’s just their nature...

Thank you 💞

I'm so terribly sorry to hear about the loss of Piper. I loved seeing his sweet little face appear on my dash. I lost my little lutino tiel, Nigel in January of last year in a similar way. I took him to the vet as soon as I noticed a change in his behaviour but despite every effort being made he passed away barely a week later. I was utterly devastated, as I'm sure you are too. The one thing that helped me through the pain was a friend telling me how loved Nigel was. Piper was loved. <3

That’s exactly what happened to Piper :”(

It’s devastating losing a companion this way, and just how quick it happened was unexpected.

It started with pneumonia and I got medicine from the vet and he seemed to be getting better but a few days later he could’nt use his right foot at all and the next day he could’nt use his left, so we had an emergency vet visit that morning and then sometime that night he passed. I can’t help but blame myself and think this all could’ve been avoided. I also feel bad that I wasn’t there for his final breaths. I just hope that he wasn’t in pain.

It’s still very difficult for me to think/talk about because I start crying. I miss being to lay with him every night and his version of “If You’re Happy And You Know It”.

My lil cockateil will take good care of Piper on the other side. I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you, I hope so!

[pipertiel]

I'm so sorry for your loss 💔. I always enjoyed seeing photos of Piper in my feed. I hope he enjoys birdie heaven. I'm sending good vibes your way

Thank you 💛

[pipertiel]

Oh no, I only just now saw the post about Piper"s passing... he always looked so sweet and comfy in the pics and vids and it always made me so happy to see him, and I could see how loved he was and always will be...

Aw thank you <3 I’m glad he made you happy!

He will continue to be loved by me and many others who have met or seen him. And hopefully he can continue to make dark days light and sad days happy ones.

I'm gonna share this on anon but I wanted to say that I'm really sorry for your loss. My cockatiel of ten years passed away in 2015 and it absolutely crushed my soul and it makes my heart ache to know that you lost yours so soon, but if it's any comfort, wherever they may be, I'm positive that they're looking down on us, being our little guardian angels that'll always shield us from what harm they can. Heck! Maybe Piper and my Pebbles became friends where they are! :)

Thank you, I’m sorry to hear about your cockatiel as well. It’s very hard losing such a good friend.

I’m sure all birdies that have passed on are all friends in birdie heaven :”)

Hello everybirdy,

I’ve thought long and hard about it and I have decided that I no longer want to post on this account. My reason behind this is because I want to keep this as a Piper archive/remembrance page. There is so much content of Piper on here from the 3 years worth of use on this account that I don’t want to lose by continuing to post here. I want all my posts about him to be easily accessable without having to scroll through what feels like forever.

I do still have a lot of Piper related content I never got to posting so every so often I might post some to add to the archive.

Even though I will not be posting here regularly anymore, I will still be active and will reply to PM’s or Asks. I also use the account @iloveyourbirds often. I just hope that you all understand my reasoning for this and support my decision.

Thank you so much for these last 3 years. I’ve never been involved with such a loving and accepting community and I’m so thankful for each and every one of you who joined us on our journey.

I will still be posting often about Misty, and recently our dog Kiedis, on instagram. I might slip in a Piper post on there every so often too.

Thank you 💛

Misty has transformed into a whole other bird from when I first adopted her back in August. She was reluctant to get out of her cage, didn’t know how to step up and liked to bite. Now she loves being out of her cage, steps up (usually lol still working on it a bit) and as of 3 days ago-loves scritches and laying with me (literally!) She has also never bitten me but she does bite my mom still 😂 (We’ll work on it!). I never expected this transformation! This really proves how rescued/adopted birds can end up being the sweetest birds.

I'm very very heartbroken to hear about Piper, he was the cutest little sweetheart on this whole website. Every post I've seen of him had made my day a lot brighter, especially after the loss of my little buddy. I hope he's in a nice cozy place where he can sing about you in peace and comfort. <3

thank you, this made me tear up <3

i want to thank you all so much for the kind words over the last few days. ive read every single comment, instagram and tumblr, and they all mean so much to me. so many of you care about me and the flock and it was almost overwhelming. ive been spending a lot of time with Misty and its helped a lot with easing my mind and heart. im trying to get back to posting 1-2 times a day soon just stick with me ♥︎

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you all that at some time during the night, Piper sadly passed away. So many of you all wished the best for him but he just wasn’t able to make it through. A lot of you loved him just as much as I did and it hurts me so much to have to tell you all this. Piper was only 3 years old and I was hoping I’d be able to spend a good portion of my life with him. He impacted my life so deeply and I can’t even comprehend that he isn’t here anymore. I haven’t been able to stop crying ever since I concluded he had passed. Not only does my room feel empty, but my heart as well.

This account will still be used as well as my instagram but from here on out it will only consist of Misty and maybe some stuff of Piper if I’m able to post it. I’m so grateful to you all for sending all the get well wishes and for coming with me on this journey that has been Piper’s life.

I’m not sure when I’ll get to posting regularly again.

Rest in Peace, Piper. Fly Free 🕊

Thank you ❤️
