One day I came home later than usual, like always I do my thing and suddenly I see this beautiful bird at my place. Well, at least I thought it was my home, but soon it became his. My sister had one spare key of my apartment so I called her and said there is a bird here. It’s yours she said. Of course she bought it for me. I immediately fell in love with him and I started to cry. I cried because I was so happy, it was tears of joy. He was so harmless, so beautiful, so curious and so lovable.

I couldn’t take my eyes of him. I still cant when I look back and see pictures of him. He really was everything to me, to all of us. He was a blessing and he brought so much joy into our lives. Soon he learned to use words. Words that still wispers into my ears. “Love you” he said. Ricky was flirty, he always whistled and said “mach mach” which means “kiss kiss”. He didn’t just say kiss, he also always kissed me. Later on he got a girlfriend and they got two babies. We named them Love and Saga. Such an experience. He is and will always be a big part of our lives.

I write this because I want to honor him and the best years we had together. Ricky wasn’t just a bird, he was a family member. Thank you our lovely Ricky for everything you brought us, we will never forget and will always remember.

Both you and your kisses are sorely missed. Ricky became 7 years and about 3 months.
