Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.

That's a great story Lisa! Thanks for sharing!

I hope everyone enjoyed it, and I have had a good day thinking of and smiling about that special little girl.

Aww, I never knew about Tweety. And wow, 18 or 19 years for a budgie is a very long life - that's wonderful!!

Love all bird stories but Budgie stories really make you smile. You can just see that happily busy Budgie enjoying everything you did. How could he not live a long time? It was a lovely love story.

All my pets have given me lots to remember. They were great friends, company & yes they patiently taught me lots.

& yet, when someone asks who was most influential in your life, growing up, & we often fail to list our pets.

Well now, 32 years ago turned out to be a very good day for a lot of birds!

As usual your touching story brought tears to my eyes. I believe that there is nothing more special than the love goven and received from our beloved pets!

Thanks Guys!!!!
I actually called my mom to let her know as well, and she said, it seemed like yesterday. I even rattled off the names of all the budgies I had ,and in what order....., Tweety did live a long time....Because she was such a wonderful companion, I thought all birds were like her! But soon found out, she was really a one of a kind.......

Ok, here is something I dont often share. but Tweety died in 86. I went out to buy a stuffed tweety the day she died so I had a reminder of her. I still have that tweety in my bed each night, and BOY, does Geo hate it! It's eyes are rubbed off and it looks possesed. ITs not even yellow anymore.
I also will not travel without it. So, if I ever stay at anyones house, you can guarentee, I'll whip that tweety out of my pocketbook! That Tweety has been every place I have been to stay since that day in 86.
Kinda a security blanket I guess. I cant sleep if its not within reach.

What a beautiful story! I never heard that one, Lisa! I"m glad your little yellow feathered angel brought you a message that you are needed in the avian world.

Do you have any pics of you and Tweety?

I dont think so. there arent many pictures of me as a kid. however I might come across some from the 80's during the move, and I will post them if I find them.
