We have some very sad news to report on Guinevere, the abused cockatiel we profiled here. Late last week, our vet performed the surgery to amputate her wing; a necessary step towards her recovery.
She survived the surgery, but couldn't recover and died in Lori's hands. Years of poor nutrition contributed to her inability to clot blood. Birds do not have a lot of blood; even a loss of a small amount is of serious concern.
It is of some consolation to us that she spent her last weeks in a safe and loving environment and that she is no longer in pain. We only regret that we were unable to save her, despite doing everything we could.

Oh how sad! I am in tears reading her story...At least she is in a better place now ans will know no more pain or suffering....
Jolene,
Thank you for your condolences. We take the death of every bird very hard. She was here only a short time, but it greatly missed. As you write, we are consoling ourselves with the fact that she suffers no more.
Thanks again for your kind words.
