I'm so sorry to hear about Pippin...the pictures you shared show how special the bond was between you two.
I typically hesitate to respond to the 'In Memory Of..' posts, not because I don't relate, but because I relate all too well. And it breaks my heart everytime I read about someone else who has lost a family member, human, feathered, or furry.
It really is a blessing that you have found ways to cope and remember the good times with Pippin. Having supportive people around you, in person or in the internet world, helps a ton too. For the sake of other birdies, I sure do hope you decide to use your knowledge and compassion and get another lucky bird when you are ready
