Magic was a beautiful and extremely hyper lutino cockatiel. He was always a happy little bird that always watched and listened to everything going on around him.
There are so many things that I could say about him, yet I'm not sure where to start. For me, Magic has always been there everyday of my life - so when the time came to say goodbye I truly lost a part of me. My parents aren't sure of when they bought Magic (Or Midge as he was often called by me)but they think it was about 20 years ago - although we can never be sure. For the first 4 years of Magic's life I wasn't around and so I can't say much about due to the fact I wasn't born then. All I know is that at that time Magic was able to come out of his cage and fly around - unfortunately I never got to see this first hand as he flew into a wall a few times and ever since then my parents thought it best if he didn't come out of his cage again. Of course I would have loved to have been able to interact with him in that way but unfortunately it wasn't possible.
To me Midge was always special, cute, cheeky and very spoilt. Magic always knew how to look at me or how to chirp to get what he wanted - regardless of what I was eating he would want it. Over the years that I spent with him, he became my baby - my best friend. We shared a bond with each other that I'll never forget. Even Though he couldn't technically speak English he always made me smile or laugh when I wasn't feeling myself. I was never one for keeping a diary, instead I would tell Magic everything and anything that was going on, usually he would sit and watch me while eating his seed - then he would start chirping which would always make me smile if I was upset.
Over the past couple of years, Magic became my life. He became the one thing that kept me going. My bond with him got even stronger and it physically hurt whenever I left him, even if I was just going to bed. If there was a time when I was feeling down in the morning he would always chirp at me and make me feel happy before I had to go to school - he was life to me.
I always dreaded the day that he would eventually cease to me in my life, even though I knew it was coming. Whenever I thought about it, it just didn't seem like it could happen - surely I couldn't have life if he wasn't around anymore?
Near the start of July 2008 we found a small lump growing on his back. It didn't look much to begin with and it didn't seem to bother him either - he was still his cheeky self. However over the course of a couple of months the lump grew in size. When we took him to see a vet they weren't sure of what exactly it might be, but due to his age and the fact that he was a bird the odds were against him surviving an operation to remove it. Even at this point I still had hope - or rather I was ignorant and chose to ignore what was going to happen. I wanted to believe that he was able to get through it and that eventually the lump would just go down and disappear. Of course, it never did. It carried on getting worse and worse, Magic remained as happy as always - the size of the lump didn't seem to bother him.
On the 10 of October 2008, everything went wrong. The lump would bleed on and off and it began affected his mood. I knew then that I would have to say goodbye to the best-est friend I'd ever had. I'd have to say goodbye to a part of me that I didn't want to let go of.
I still remember that in the last few hours I spent with him when I got home from 6th form, how his mood seemed to improve slightly. He was happy to see me. For the first time that day he ate while I sat next to his cage, talking to him. He even got onto my hand when I put my hand into his cage. He sat there and gently licked my fingernails like he always did. Of course I could see that he was a lot weaker, but somehow he seemed to be happy.
That night Magic was put to sleep and then buried with all his favorite things the next day. I will never forget all the special times I spent with him and I'll never forget all his quirky habits that would make me smile and laugh.
I was truly blessed to have such a friend in my life, I only hope he thought of me the same way.
I'll always love you my little darling, where ever you are now I hope you're warm, chirpy and eating all your favorite foods. I'll see you again some day darling.
Charlie,

Seriously, how can another year have gone by? I don't know, I have no idea. There wasn't a moment that I didn't think of you today Midge, that's not to say that I don't think of you every day - 'cause god knows I do! I hope you're doing well where ever you are, I miss you so very much. =( I hope you liked the flowers I got you, love you lots and lots. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Been thinking of you today Midge. 3 years have gone by so quickly...hope you flying free and happy wherever you are ! Love always, Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hey there my little Midge bird.
I'm so sorry that I haven't left you any messages here in so long. I still talk to you every day and I don't think that'll ever change. I think about you all the time and all I want is to be able to hold you just one more time. I love you more than anything darling and I still can't believe that you're not here anymore. I hate life without you being there and I'm sick of being 'fake' all the time in front of other people, just because they can't understand how I feel about you. You were my best friend and you always will be. I can't believe I've had another birthday without you, it's horrible and I so wish you could be there. I love you darling, so much more than you'll ever know. I'll try to leave you another message soon my toasty bird, lots and lots of love sweetie. xxxxxxxxx
=(
Hi there darling, forgive me for not posting any messages on here for so long - I just kept losing my password. The day you left us, a huge gap formed in my life and even now it doesn't feel any better. I miss you so much and it feels like forever since I last heard/saw you. Every morning I wake up and I hope that you'll still be there downstairs, waiting for me to make you some toast - but unfortunatly that isn't going to happen.
I hope you and Fluke are looking after each other - I'm sure you're both stuffing your faces! I love you both so much xxxxxxxxxx
Well Midge, you've been gone a year & a half today - doesn't seem possible. There are so many yellow flowers around at the moment, they remind me of you everytime i see them ! We still miss you loads. Hope you & Fluke are looking after each other - the house just isn't the same without you both. Love you loads, Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Merry Christmas Magic
Merry Christmas little Midge, been thinking about you lots since Fluke passed away. Hope you are both looking after each other. We're missing you both so much, things just aren't the same without you. Sending you both all my love & lots of big hugs. Love you always, Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hey there my baby,
I hope you're doing alright and I can't believe its been a year since I last saw you - I feel so heartbroken and lost. I just want to see you again and I want time to just stop! I can't stand being without you my darling, you mean so much to me.
I'll try and leave another message later darling,
love you so much, always.

Precious Love
The agony is so great...
and yet I will stand it.
Had I not loved so very much...
I would not hurt so much.
But God knows I would not want to diminish
that precious love...
By one fraction of an ounce.
I will hurt...
And I will be grateful for that hurt
For it bears witness to the depth of my love.
And for that I will be eternally grateful.

Hi darling,
Sorry it's been over a month since I last left you a message here - but I do talk to you everyday. I still love you more than ever and I honestly don't know how I keep going without you.
Again, sorry but this is only a quick message - I have to go to bed now. I had two exams today, I hope I don't fail them both. All my thoughts are always with you - you're my little baby and you mean the world to be.
I'll leave you another message again soon,
All my love,
Charlotte xxxxxx
