I just went out to put a load of washing on the line and all my guy's were making a racket soon as they saw me. Went over and I found my favourite breeding hen Pearl (Shadows mum) dead. She was fine late last night as I was talking to her (was going to put the nest box in next week). The way I found her, she died of a broken neck. We have a lot of kite's and hawk's at the moment. I have put her under my favourite rose bush. Thank you for all of your beautiful babies, Rest In Peace my beauty.    Mum is in the background. |

Thank you everyone, it has been hard which has surprised me. I have given then grass runners but other than that I cannot go near them. Hubbie has been calling for her which is hard, he just looks at me calling. |

Unfortunately the hawks will never go away Clara. We have owls as well so anyone of them scare the birds.
Pearl was not sick ie no dirty bum and was a nice plump bird.
The way I found her, she was facing the middle of the aviary with her wings spread.

I hate it when one of my favourites dies. I've lost a few with nightfright. That's sad news, especially with the partner calling for her. A couple of my tiels have lost partners and they have never teamed up with anyone else.

I am going to try and find him a nice Whiteface Pied hen to see if he is intrested. He is a lovely dad and would be a shame for him not to be a dad.

That is really sad. I'm very sorry for your loss, and for Pearl's little mate - he must be quite confused at the moment. Straight to birdie heaven for sweet Pearl. |
