I rescued a green budgie parakeet from a bad situation two weeks ago. I named him Dende, after the Namekian from Dragon Ball Z. He was not healthy and had a fear of humans and I was trying to get him well enough to go to the vet both emotionally and physically but he unfortunately had a stroke and passed away today. Obviously this is a pet and I don't expect everyone here to understand, but yeah, don't expect prompt PM replies or anything. He was afraid but happier than in the conditions he came to me. I loved him, and I will miss him terribly. Please don't buy birds on a whim, can certainly avoid clipping their wings because that's part of the reason why he had no confidence and was afraid of humans. 

I got him to perch last night and spent my morning with him before going to work but when I got home he was already dying and suffering. I couldn't do anything but hold him and cry. 

I will miss you, Dende. I will need a few days to process and deal with this loss, as this was the first pet I acquired on my own as an adult believe it or not. All other pets that I have had in my life up until this point have been family pets.

I have a blue one and he's still around and I will keep him close to me.
