At 10:30 AM on August 12th of 2006, Bo spread his wings and flew to the land of his ancestors. His wings are no longer butchered by man's hands, his chest no longer bare, never again to sit behind cage bars like a prisoner .... he is free from pain and mankind. Please do not wait for me my precious BoBo .... fly free with your wild relatives and do not fear their calls .... that is a call of rejoice, a call to welcome you home.

You were a star that just shone too bright and you burned out too fast. I pity those that dumped you and could not see past your outer flaws because you had the purest spirit, the most beautiful soul that I ever had the privilege of sharing my life with .... you were perfect. Many loved you thru your story and your pictures ... I so wish they could of met you ... to think you touched and brought together so many with them never meeting you .... if only they could of known you as I did.

Sadly your body must suffer one last mutilation caused by man, but this time it is to see if your brothers and sisters are safe. I am sorry that is the only answer. Did you sacrifice your life my love in order to give me peace of mind for all your brothers and sisters? To give us answers? You were so giving ... part of me can't help but believe it. Your soul is free and a soul you did have. I am wearing your leg band on my wedding finger sweetheart ... because our souls were married. I promised you a home for the rest of your life ... little did I know it would be 8 short months. I hope I loved you enough, I hope I comforted you enough .... I wish you well on your many journeys to come my darling with an old soul. I ask that you do not remember me ... I ask this for I want you to remember nothing of mankind and what they put you thru in your 10 short years of life. Be at peace my friend and fly free for all of eternity.

The above was posted on secondchancebirds.net/forum at 11:25 AM by M2Mom, the caretaker of Bobo for the past eight months. His story is touching, heartwarming, humorous, heartbreaking and all too common in today's "throw away" society.

It is being determined, but Bobo's vet felt that he was in the advanced stages of PDD. This is a horrible, incurable disease, and very, very little is known about it. Please join the fight to stop PDD! Click here to find out more and help stop this killer.

It was determined that Bo did not have PDD but instead died of gross negligence over the coarse of his very short life.
