Welcome to Bubble's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Bubble

Bubble you were always there for me and always gave me so much love. It was the best 9 years of my life and I will love you forever. I miss your little cheeps and miss you waking me up in the morning. I wish I had done so much more for you and I could have spent all my time with you. My special chicken. Just to clarify, Bubble was a little white faced and grey pied female cockatiel, I called her mummies chicken though or mummies chicken pie. Bubble came to me when I needed her the most. I has just been diagnosed with treatable cancer and was very fightened and felt very alone. I was taking my garbage out one sunday and saw this little bright white bird hiding under the flowers and shrubs near the bins. I was terrified she would die out there as I saw she couldnt fly. I ran inside and got a laundry hamper and some cardboard and scooped her up and took her inside. I didn't know what she was because I had never seen a cockatiel before so I called wildlife resuce. They said they would come pick her up but couldn't get there for 5 hours with a cage. I was so terrified of her as birds always scared me. I remember standing there with an arm length rubber glove and long barbecue tongs with a piece of pear on the end to feed her. To my surprise, she climbed on the pear and up the tongs all the way up the glove and onto my shoulder and nuzzled into my neck and went weeeeeaaahhh in my ear. From that moment I knew I loved her and couldnt give her to the wildlife people. By the time they arrived I begged them to leave her with me. We had bonded so much. They told me she was a domesticated pet cockatiel that had clipped wings and probably escaped and wouldn't survive in the wild. I spent every night after work with her, Running around the house, all over me. She was always sitting on my shoulder, or chest or head. She loved to preen my eyebrows. When I was laying down watching tv she would run down and perch on my big toe to watch the simpsons. It was her favourite show. I had her for many years beleiving she was a boy because she didnt lay eggs. It was only until I had her for 8 years that she started laying lots of eggs and couldn't be stopped. I had to learn to relate to her as a female and stop calling her mum's special big boy. She layed those eggs because she was happy and she loved me but it made her sicker and just drained her of her goodness. It was so hard my darling when I took you to the vet. You looked so unwell but you still played with mummy and sang with me. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. But I knew you were in pain, and I knew you were holding on for me, being happy for me. I hope you are full of energy and have all your beautiful feathers back and have found a boyfriend in heaven. I always felt bad I didn't get you one when you were here.
