#egg-binding

JJ passed away last week at the ER due to egg-binding. She was acting like her spirited and dynamic self, but she had a giant egg she couldn't pass on her own. Rushed her to the vet, hoping she'd make it through surgery since she still had her spunk. She was doing ok after the surgery... until she started to decline, and continued to do so until she went to be with Cody. ⠀ My emergency fund was exhausted due to car issues and moving to a new state with nothing but my birds and basics. The Birdhist Community came together and helped me in my time of need and I'm so very very very grateful. There's more details on my blog and the gofundme page itself.⠀ Widow Hilda has mostly been in rage mode, understandably. She's slowly starting to warm up to me in her own Hilda way, but I know I'll never be a substitute for the amazing JJ. ⠀ Her family, and her original mama (co-mama) @jj_the_lovebird will miss her dearly. Everyone involved tried their best and that's all anyone can do.⠀
