It is hard to believe I am writing this today (as the tears well up yet again!)
'Pache - our beautiful little cockatiel that we have had for nearly three years - died early this morning. We are just devasted - and this after her escaping last month when we were at Gogelderie Weir, and the whole miracle story of getting her back after 4 days in that sweltering heat - how she survived those days is just a credit to her stamina and character, of which she had so much - what a great little mate she has been and so many memories we will have of her.
But the fact that she will now longer see the rest of Australia with us just makes us so sad. You miss the little blighters so much and you just get so attached to them.
We noticed yesterday that she really wasn't herself and we got in touch with the vet in Braidwood who was just wonderful. He gave her an injection of antibiotics and some water with Antibiotics in it to bring back. We took it in turns to get up during the night and check on her, and at last check at 4am this morning she was sitting up on her perch, but when we got up this morning she was gone.

We have buried her here on the banks of the Shoalhaven- a spot that she has so enjoyed, under the shade of a large gum tree and left her mark.
