I remember your bird well and was so happy he survived. That you managed that says a lot about your care. I am so sorry he has passed. I know he meant a lot to you. He was an amazing bird.

I'm so sorry. Is that a long life for a dove? How wonderful you were able to save him from that attack and enjoy him for a few more years.

I am sorry for the passing of your dove, Socks. He hada good life with you as his guardian.

I do remember your bird. Im sorry he is gone. You gave him a long and good life.

I remember him and am sorry he died. That sounds like a good, long life, although you'll miss him.

Oh, yes! I remember. Sorry for the loss of your sweet feathered friend.

He was so lucky to have you as a caregiver. I know you'll miss him.

I am so sorry to hear that. I remember him, too-such a sweetie and so pretty.

ETA: Elmer, I had that album and loved White Bird. To this day I can still sing it (not that anyone wants to hear me sing). We must be about the same age-yay for us-we did have the best music.

Socks, I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved dove. He was fortunate to have shared his life with you and you were blessed in sharing yours with him.

i remember and i'm so sorry for your loss. he was so beautiful! 🤍

Oh I am so sorry to read tis news. I do remember when you shared about his attack when he was IN his cage.... He looks like he was such a sweet bird.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your pet bird. After so many years they become a part of the family. What was his name?

I'm sorry, Socks. I looked up their life spans and you must have been giving him excellent care. He was long lived for a dove. I know you'll miss him. I only wish there were ways to have our pets live as long as we would like. It's one of the reasons I don't have one right now, I don't feel tough enough to deal with an inevitable loss. (((hugs)))

So sorry.

No name ever stuck to him. We just called him "The Bird." His care was part of our daily routine. His favorite treat was cornbread.

Life span can be around 20 years. Our friend has one who is 22.

Probably most every one here has lost a beloved pet. Thank you for your kind words.

Awe, what a beautiful bird. Sorry you have lost your cornbread loving companion. Sounds like you gave him an excellent life.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful dove, Socks. That sounds like a very long life to me—you were caring well for him. What a beauty he was and I know he’ll be sorely missed.

My condolences as well.

I'm so sorry to hear about his passing. You have probably told us before but how did you come to have him? He was such a beautiful bird.

He was given to us by a magician who used doves in his performances. We've been offered another dove, but we said "not at this time but thank you."

Aww, Socks, I am sorry. "Bird" had no idea how many people cared about him. He was a fighter, coming back from that attack, nursed and loved by his family. I'll be thinking of him when I make cornbread!

(Here's a little pat for Oski: +++ +++)

i am sorry that you lost your little guy. He was so pretty.

My condolences. I do remember when your sweet dove was injured. it is a testament to your loving care that he had a good, long dove life.

What a beautiful dove and I'm so sorry that he's gone. I also remember your post when he was attacked. It's always difficult when a beloved pet passes away.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I remember him too. So cute! Sorry to hear the news. Glad he recivered well to go on and live a full life. I had no idea they lived that long. The mourning doves at our feeders are our favorites.

(((socks))) I remembered bird the moment I saw the picture. Glad you got to be together longer.

I'm sorry to hear this, Socks. Beautiful bird.
