I did this to illustrate my feelings currently.

On Easter Sunday early morning (12:30AM to be exact) my beloved green cheeked conure, Peepers suddenly died from choking on a tiny piece of plastic he managed to break off a small bird toy. I tried to extract the plastic but it was wedged too far down. He literally died in my hands. Read the details here https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10835624
I live alone, nobody visits outside an occasional friend stopping by every few weeks. Peepers was my sanity switch, my mental safety check on a daily basis. We did everything within the place together, eat, watch TV, listen to the radio. He was freely allowed to fly about when I had his cage door open. He had a special perch that sits next to his cage to watch the outside birds at the feeder outside. He frequently would call out to the outside birds. He would also cheep out a greeting to my neighbors coming home as well. Every time I would come home from work, Peepers would cheerfully call out "Daddies home!" repeatedly.

His death has seriously shattered me emotionally and mentally. My best friend is no longer around to cheer me up and be part of my life. Prime example was on Monday, I literally spent Easter Sunday just staring at his empty cage and places he'd sit, I was unable to sleep having been up literally since 7AM Saturday morning, I eventually fell asleep around 2-3 AM on Monday. At 9:10AM Monday morning I was woken up by a Sheriff deputy pounding on my bedroom window, turns out he was doing a welfare check. Seems I was so exhausted, I failed to hear my phone ringing 4 times a half hour earlier and my phone sounds off as a Klaxon alarm (Mainly to distinguish it from everybody elses phone), and failed to respond to my upstairs neighbor's wife pounding on my door, and later the deputy. My neighbor across the hall was trying to get ahold of me to have me pick him up in Kenosha Wisconsin and willing to pay me $100 to do it. He heard what had happened and like the neighbor upstairs, feared the worst. Thus the police involvement. Sadly he found someone else to fetch him since it was almost an hour after he tried calling me. Thats $100 I seriously could have used too.

My sister and a couple friends here on FA are urging me to pick up another replacement Conure sooner than later, mainly to get me back on my mental stability and welfare. Madison has a monthly 'Bird fair' where breeders sell a huge variety of birds , cages, bird food thats higher quality than store bought. I usually every 3 months will buy millet seed cause I can buy 2 pounds for $5.00 over $1.00 per sprig at the pet shops.

And this coming Sunday, the 7th theres another bird fair. If you wish to help me obtain another feather friend into my life, I won't object if anybody wants to toss a few bucks towards another Conure. I certainly will be extremely grateful if you are willing to help out with anything. My paypal is elkabong53708(at)gmail.com and Thank you in advance if you decide to help. You don't have to help financially if you can't or willing. I understand.
