Crying or Very sad

Ohhh, what a beautyful bird, - and what a high age ! I never imagined they could get that old Shocked

Greater must have had some very good caretakers, I am sure they are mourning his death now. Sad

But better for him to be put to sleep than suffering for a long time silent

Thanks for the link Very Happy

Holy flamingo! I never would have thought they could have gotten that old, that's a huge accomplishment. He was still a very pretty bird... Smile
