I wish that he was still here, he's my show winning Boots, my Scooter... he was the best bird ever, he loved everyone and even people who were afraid of birds loved him when they met him, he played well with kids and elderly people, he played well with everyone, he was super playful and cheerful and he was a little goofball, and I remember when he was a newborn scooting around in the little bin they had him in at the pet store and that is why I named him Scooter, we bought him when he was still in his egg but we brought him home when he was about 6 months old. I remember when we got to hold him on our finger for the first time and he pooped all over my dad's lap and his phone, we took him home and he immediately loved Scrappy who was our cockatiel at the time but he has since passed but Scooter and Scrappy were great together and then after Scrappy died, we got Emerald and took her home when she was only a few weeks old and we hand fed her but she and Scooter got along but Emerald passed away because Georgie, my cat, got her and Scooter was quiet for about a week after that but then he was back to his normal perky self up until he died... my dad said that he died well on his back and my dad was rubbing his belly and Scootee was crooning happily until he was silent and my dad looked at him and saw his eyes closed and he wasn't breathing... we did everything we could to save him and everyone thought he was going to be okay... he was the most amazing pet I have ever had...

And these last photos were taken a few hours before Scooter passed away

We all miss you Scooties and we all love you so much! ❤
