🕊️ Remembering Bhanu: A Tale of Resilience and Love 🕊️

Dear friends,

Bhanu was more than a parrot; he was family. His story of resilience and our unbreakable bond is one I want to share with you. 🦜💚

Despite facing challenges, Bhanu's spirit never wavered, bringing us endless joy. His twinkle-twinkle tunes will forever echo in our hearts. 🎶

To honor his memory, I've written an article about our journey together. 📖 Read the full story Link in First (c.o.m.m.e.n.t ).
👇👇👇👇👇👇

Please take a moment to remember Bhanu with me. Share your thoughts and cherished memories in the comments. 💬

Thank you for being a part of this journey. 🙏💚

He was six years old when I adopted him, and he had already endured so much with his original owner dying, and then being abandoned by whoever inherited him. He was the most resilient being I’ve ever met. Even as the tumor caused him great discomfort, and eventually pain, he still kept going. He was just a happy, crazy dude for his entire 19 years of life, and I’m so beyond grateful could be a part of it. RIP my sweet boy 💚

For those who havent seen, Bhanu has a slowly growing mass in his abdomen. But I’m doing whatever it takes to heal him… at great cost. His GoFundMe link is in my bio if you feel so inclined. So grateful for all the kind words… We love you guys Thank you soo soo much.....

If you’re ever so lucky as to earn this kind of trust from a bird… SNIFF THEM. I’m serious, birds smell so good!! 😍

The chronicles of Bhanu and his jingle ball 🤣💚

25/07/2023

I came home from work on 2/23 to discover that Bhanu’s voice had suddenly become raspy… This is a symptom of several problems, including something stuck in his trachea or an infection of some sort. Both of which can be fatal if ignored… And with birds, illness can turn serious VERY fast.

I can’t remember the last time I panicked so hard… Y’all have no idea how much this bird means to me… I immediately took him to the first avian vet with an opening.

After listening to his heart and lungs the vet determined it wasn’t anything urgent and suggested making an appointment with my regular avian vet who he knows has more experience than him. He also gave me antibiotics to heal any bacterial infection that he may have. THANK GOD Bhanu is literally the goodest boy on earth and takes his medicine with ENTHUSIASM!

The annoying news is I won’t have any real answers until after my appointment tomorrow morning. The GOOD NEWS is after a few days of antibiotics he is already improving!!! Every day his voice gets closer to being totally back to normal (suggesting it was a bacterial infection, I’ll tell y’all later how I think it happened). Btw his behavior has been completely normal throughout this whole thing lol nothing can stop his goofiness.

I’ll update y’all on what we learn at his appointment tomorrow, but rest easy knowing everything should be JUST FINE 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

PS: for context…
Bhanu’s feathers were already plucked to the point they can’t grow back when I adopted him 13 years ago (he was six years old), so his lack of feathers has nothing to do with this current issue. He’s 18 years old now and has always been totally healthy and happy! I am NOT new to birds and have been obsessively researching proper parrot care/diet/handling for 15 years. I can confidently tell you he is in good hands!

I’ll never get tired of this one because you can see how DELIBERATE Bhanu is when he pauses, looks at my ear and thinks for a moment, reaches his face right up to it, and just SCREAMS in my ear—and then he fricken LAUGHS about it!!! Lmaooo I swear to god he is a literal child trapped in a bird’s body

OMG I just found the video I took of the first time I met Petrie 😭❤️ I had just starting working at the bird store I found her at (2014), and they said she drew blood from everyone who touched her. But for me—she was immediately like THIS. I had to film cus no one would believe it! She hardly gave me a choice… ❤️

It’s the fact that he’s clearly TRYING to make me laugh that kills me 🤣

30/06/2023

Lol they’re both obsessed with the fish tank. Probably trying to figure out why I’m always staring at it

Gettin dem good head scritches before bed ❤️

Alright so whenever I eat anything in my house Bhanu flies onto me and pesters me to give him some so I have to lock him up when I eat. Trouble is Petrie is an agent of chaos and HAS to let him out EVERY time😤 But she knows I’ll stop her so she waits until I’m not looking to go unlock his cage LOL

Petrie gets a little aggressive about kisses when I’ve been at work all day 😳
