 Mollie, M2 hen of indeterminate age, was found dead on the aviary floor Saturday morning. We believe she passed quietly in her sleep.We found Mollie at the San Jose Flea Market. A breeder was dumping her because she was no longer producing. $300. She never would trust our hands but was almost always willing to give a kiss. Yes, we trusted her that much. Soon after coming home with us she introduced herself to "Big Syd" and they shacked up for a while. They had fun playing house in a big box we put outside their cage. This was in Sunnyvale. They got along well for about the first year up here until Syd got a hair across his butt and bit hers one day. She moved out, got her own place and started dating around. This summer she moved out to the Moluccan condo. She soon had a handful of suitors that took care of her every need. At least they kept her warm at night. Really, she always had at least one, often one on each side, as the nights grew cooler. How many girls could be as lucky as she was? 5 boys and only 1 girl. She definitely wanted to keep it that way. She was found on her back next to a log under one of the common roosting perches. Her eyes were closed. Her wings and feet were curled. She had some bite marks but no blood. We believe Doc, her main squeeze, tried to wake her. He still goes down and paces the log where we found her. This picture is Mollie and two of her suitors. A girl walks around half naked she's bound to attract some attention. |

TIKI - "We lost our precious Tiki today. We’ve had her for what seems like forever. We got her through so much. She was a pathetic wreck on day one… huge swollen elbow w/ massive infection from self inflicted damage, naked (or darned close to it), and did so much medically for her. She absolutely blossomed. Most of her feathers returned." "She was with out a doubt, our Fair Princess Tiki Wiki. And darned if she didn’t know it. Her world rose and set on Nate. She had at least a dozen ways of saying Hello to suit her purposes." "She went into respiratory arrest coming out of surgery this afternoon. No more infections. No more frozen wings. No more throwing herself off of the perch for attention and ending up turtle-back. No more ‘hello’. No more strutting. No more…She is so much better off now but that doesn’t mean we won’t miss her so…Fly free sweet girl." Betsy & Nate |

MARTIN - "Martin was loved by all whoever knew him. He brought joy to everyone. His absence in everyone's life will be felt always. We miss you Martin." |
 MALI
DHALI - "He was a kindred spirit that shared his life with us.
What more can any creature, human or otherwise, offer us..." Naomi's sweet baby boy... He lived a great life, filled with love, confidence, adventure and flight. Gone too soon. Fly free sweet boy. |

ODESSA -
the circle of
life..... We lost our sweet, precious Odessa today after a brave battle with
a failing liver. She was quite simply one of the sweetest moluccans to ever
grace the face of this earth. Given we have as many as we do, it's a wonder
(and a blessing really) that we don't lose more. However, Odie, sweet Odie,
is a painful loss. We've had her for almost 10 years. She was one of our
original pink girls. We brought her up from California with us.
We saved her
from her abysmal life in San Francisco where she lived on a screen porch and
was being fed the stellar diet of bread and water. She was one of the most
grateful birds for food ever made. It doesn't surprise us really given that
she had lived on bread for who knows how long. That life of course was
following growing up on a vineyard. We understand she was quite the wine
conniseur which probably led to the liver problems that took her from us.
Ultimately we
know she's in a much better place now. Free and happy, may she continue to
fly and live with joy with so many others who have left us prematurely. Fly
free sweet girl. We will miss you always.

DUNCAN - Duncan Osborne died in 2006 while home on Christmas break from his first semester of college. He had been a wonderful Mollywood Volunteer for 3 short years and we will always miss him! We like to think that Sweet Maggie May is with him again. She was his favorite bird and she died in 2005. |
MAI TAI - "Loved by me and loved by his foster parents. Gone too soon, but left this earth loved by many and missed by Jeffrey, Aurora and the rest of the flock."
