Hello all. Just a quick update for everyone.

First, the bad news. Tweety has crossed over the rainbow bridge after spending 23 years with us on 3-10-2011. His failing health let me know it was coming, but I'm sad none the less. He spent his last days cage free and ruling the roost as he always has. Words really cannot express the hole that will be left in all our lives.

Now on to the good news. The same day, Caleb Daniel was born. I cannot upload photos easily from here, but I will at some point.

WELCOME Caleb Daniel !! You have tons of Aunties and Uncles here who will love to watch you grow.

Christie, he isn't Catherine Louise but I'd keep him. He is just beautiful. I can't wait for more pictures.

Hugs and Kisses,

Auntie Rho

What a sad thing to have these two momentous things coincide Your emotions must be all over the place. Your new son will surely help you heal faster from your loss of Tweety. Can't wait to see a picture Congratulations!

Hi Christie - congratulations!! I'm sure your hands will be full. I'd love to see pictures!!

So sorry to hear of Tweety's passing - for him to have lived 23 years, there is no doubt about your love and care for him.

So sorry to hear about Tweety but 23 years is a very blessed age for a cockatiel

About your other news



Love his name too, gorgeous!
How big was he?
Hope you are feeling well, take time out for yourself okay! I know it's hard when they're so tiny still but when he rests, you rest!

am so sorry to hear of your loving friends passing, hope you aren't feeling badly too long, it is so hard. but congrats on your new baby, am so happy for you for that.

I think sometimes it is harder when a pet companion passed on when they have been around for a long time. So sorry for your loss.
Congrats on the birth of your baby. A future bird lover?

Quick update while Caleb is sleeping on my lap, we've been up since 3:30.

Caleb was 8lb 1oz at birth, 7lb 11oz at his last dr appointment. He was 19 in long at birth as well.

I'm hoping he'll be a bird lover. Ash, my rescue tiel, is in love. He even chases his mate away from the baby. He will get close and sing away.

It's really strange not having tweety around. I keep expecting to see him, then remembering he isn't here. Thank you everyone for the congratulations and condolences.

Monica, so you don't have to guess, I was 11 when I got tweety. He was with me through first jobs, boyfriends, college, moving out to be on my own, marriage, and up to the first day I became a mommy. I'll cherish the cuddles he gave me rightbefore leaving for the hospital.

How sweet Ash loving little Caleb
Caleb was a good size at birth (and don't worry about him dropping a bit of weight, he will gain it again soon ) Hope all is going well for you and bubba and the rest of the birds.
