All good things must come to an end, and so it is with a beautiful bird named Harvey. He lived to be about 21 or 22 years old (to the best of our knowledge). He was always happy and singing, both to himself in the mirror and to his "best friend" Silver. Our family has had these two birds for over 20 years. A few months back, my parents decided it would be best to find Harvey and Silver a good home... one that could afford them more time and attention... maybe one with older kids. I found just that family. A co-worker of mine was very interested in receiving these "boys" for their boys. So, we cleaned up the cage, and sent them off to a wonderful home. These 3 boys spent so much time trying to train Harvey and Silver new songs and tricks. My friend told me that they would find various bird tricks and songs on YouTube and play them over and over on the "big screen TV", with Harvey and Silver sitting watching. Well, I don't think they had too much luck with that method of training, but both birds did get a lot of play time.
Silver is doing fine... but I'm sure misses his friend. However... now he gets all the food and fresh Fruit Loops all to himself!!! What more can you ask for??
