I have been trying to keep myself together to write this, but every time I came to write it, I would break down. I am so distraught, sad, heart broken and I am trying so hard not to cry, but I can’t help but cry, I am an absolute mess. http://www.32battalion.org/forum/images/smilies/heartbreaking.gif
On Thursday, Luna sadly escaped, her cage door wasn’t closed properly and it came open as I was taking her outside. We thought she couldn’t fly, but she can, she just couldn’t lift very high.
Late the same afternoon that she got out, we heard her chirping and we followed where it was coming from - turned out she was sitting in an extremely tall and thick tree behind the neighbors backyard next to the block of land. We could hear her, but couldn’t see her. We stayed out there calling to her and trying to encourage her to come down, we were shaking a container with seed, a container with pellets, I had taken Mishka out in the harness, but she just wouldn’t come down. It was starting to get dark so we got a torch and continued to call her.. we ended up coming back home at about 8pm. We hoped she would stay there for the night, we left her cage out, and I was up and down all night.
My mum was up early the next morning (5am) I got up at 6am, mum was outside already calling for Luna (at the same spot) by the time I got up, but she had moved.. where though? We had no idea. We uncovered the Aviary Cockatiels to see if they would call out at least, not long after we heard chirping from right at the back of the yard, she was in yet another tall tree, but definitely there, she called out when I whistled.
Fast forward an hour...
She still would not come down, we called over and over, but didn't give up. Then something horribly bad happened, she went to fly off and 2 huge crows came out of nowhere, and they got her.. http://www.mscraps.com/forum/images/smilies/102.gif I seen it all, she was screaming so loud and all I could do was scream and cry.
I hate for anyone to see this, it has happened to me, and there is absolutely no way I could watch someone go through this very same thing. I feel so sick, I feel horrible, and it all seems so surreal still right now. I can’t look at photos or videos I have of her without bawling my eyes out.
I hadn’t had Luna even a week, and now she is gone, gone forever.. :(
I am so sorry Luna, I wish this hadn’t happened to you, I wish you were still here. We all miss you so much already, and you will always be remembered and will always have a place in our hearts. R.I.P Luna.
