My parakeet Otto Ruthless

#MightyPets #parakeet #Birds #CRPS #ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome

I adopted Otto in 2021 after having to find my dog Legacy a new home ( She's spoiled, loved and healthy in her new home, blessed an elderly woman.) I'm still heartbroken not having Legacy who is 17yrs old now...I had her for 12 years. But I get occasional updates and know she's loved. I actually tried to end my life shortly after losing her. I've never not had a pet and if it wasn't for having to move and only place I could find "No Pets!"I would still have my dog... Finally I convinced my LL to let me get a small bird. I went in Petco and they had 4 budgies all bright yellow exactly the same! Lol I watched them for an hour. 1 looked sick, and 1 one chirped and danced and played ( Otto) other two moved around but weren't playing or chirping.

Anyway I said I want the active chirpy one... 2 months later he was wolf whistling and a couple weeks after that saying his name. Now he as a 50+ word vocabulary. He for some reason calls me "pretty" or "pretty pretty"... I taught him the words but he started calling me that on his own. If I'm down or upset he'll say, "I love you pretty. Do you need an Otto?"

He is my sunshine and my pride and joy. Super smart, isn't just mimicking as he's formed his own sentences. Some is mimicking of course.

I keep seeing cardinals

and maybe it's those that have passed on showing me a little love. I like to think so. At least it's better to think about than what's currently going on in the world. #Birds #smallmoment s

Know you are loved...

#MentalHealth
I woke up this morning wondering what I’m doing here.
#Life ? #Love ? #Giving ? #Understanding ? What?? I asked myself..
ALL of the above! ( I heard myself)

We have a #Choice .
Live with memories of #traumatic childhoods,
Or
#live with a #Determination of #yes ! #They can’t hurt me anymore! The past is over...let’s get on with healing..

#freedom is ours, it’s always knocking to come home,
Turn the key friend, OPEN THE DOOR!
Your #heart is still #lovingly beating for you. For you #preious One...
They never managed to take your #heart
For many winters, you’ve survived with a #Broken heart- yes
Now, come out, open the door, and #listen to the #Birds
Listen to your heart
Know you are loved.

#IfYouFeelHopeless

Throughout this quarantine I have felt very lonely and vulnerable even with recurring suicidal thoughts, when taking shelter in my country house I found a nest of birds among the trees and I gave myself the task of caring for them and giving them back all the love I thought I needed at that moment. This made me feel better about myself, and I start to thought about a new cicle in my life. I like to share this with you.💗 #Love #Birds #WhereHopeGrows
