I am in a group for re-homed birds on face book. We are all very close, almost like family. A good friend of mine had a cockatiel named Kato for almost 30 years. For the last year Kato's health has been failing and recently Kato flew over the rainbow bridge into heaven. We were all grief-stricken and many tears were shed for Kato and my friend and his wife. If you have ever had the honor of truly loving and bonding with a bird you will understand. I also lost two of my babies recently.
I wrote this little story about my girls Romeo and Juliet meeting his Kato in heaven.
