Brandy’s story has been the hardest for me to write. She is one of four beautiful Congo African Greys that I raised from babies. Willy, Brandy, Hercules and Muffin. It was so difficult to choose between them in the beginning that I kept all of them for four years. When it became necessary to decide who was going to stay and who was to go, I was faced with an agonizing decision. It was me that had become Brandy’s very best friend. She wanted to be with me all the time. She had definitely decided that it was me she wanted to be bonded with. This didn’t make it any easier for me to give up the others, but I also felt that it would be Brandy that would suffer the most by going. Hercules was the first to go. I found a very nice couple for him. He was to be the only bird and would have a lot of attention. Willy and Muffin went together. They had become the best of friends and I was very lucky to find a wonderful lady to take them both so they could stay together. I hear from Hercules, Willy and Muffin from time to time and they are doing a lot better than I am. I still miss them terribly and always will, but Brandy does make it easier.
