Belle was the most amazing cockatiels I have ever met. She was hatched right here in our home. Her mommas name is Sunny & her daddy is Lily (He is a boy we misgendered. A big surprise to us). She had 2 brothers Rogue & Bugzy. When Belle was first hatched she was already the most active hatchling. She enjoyed flipping over playfully and stepping on her brothers.🤣

When Belly was only 1 month old she took her first flight on a whim, when no one was looking and flew straight into the window. She fell behind our tv stand and she fractured her wing. We took her to the vet and were worried she may have a concussion. The vet did a full exam and told us “she is a very tough little girl to still be walking after a hit so hard.” She told us her wing would eventually heal but future neurological damage would likely occur. She had 2 seizures before the vet. Belly was 7 months old when she had another seizure and that was what took her little life. 😭

For the past 7 months since the window incident, we believed everything was okay but she was showing signs of neurological trauma. She had tremors, tics and couldn’t regulate her temperature very well. I was always her warming station. She would cuddle up to me and nuzzle under my chin and she loved sitting under my nose where the warm air comforted her. I would sing to her everyday. Her favorite songs are “you are my sunshine” and “my girl” We prayed together. Played together. She loved scritches on her head and neck. I spoiled her, she was my baby. Because she had a rough time climbing and perching I made her little nests to sit in. She had a cozy corner that I made for her to keep her warm at bedtime. She enjoyed cuddles, bathtime in the sink and blow dries. Her favorite movies was Tinkerbell & Moana. She was the best little bird. Never snapped at us ever. Just the perfect little lady bird. My little mini Beauty Queen. This little girl was so loved by everyone who knew her. Her flock misses her terribly. We will always love her. Belle was the sweetest, most gentle bird.
