Natures Corner

My first internet experience was with Li'l Miss Kiwi and her mom, Judie, while I was trying to find information about parrotlets. I learned almost everything I know about parrotlets from this wonderful woman and her beautiful little bird. I will always be grateful for the time and patience that was taken by Judie to educate me about these wonderful little birds.

I had the opportunity to meet Li'l Miss and her mom and dad a few years ago while they were traveling through my city. They are the most wonderful people and if everyone was like they are, the world would be a much better place.

To Li'l Miss Kiwi: We love you. While we are grieving at your passing, I hope you know how much you helped other bird owners like me, I will be forever grateful. You made it possible for me to feel knowledgable enough to add to our flock. Fly free, little one!

Soar happy and free precious Li'l Miss Kiwi! You know how much you were loved here on earth and you are oh so sorely missed. And you showed us such an incredible and amazing love - free and unconditional. Your last few moments were filled with favourite songs and the most loving hands held you as you quietly said good-bye.

I'm praying now for your family......
Lots of Love and Prayers, Monika
Joey and Beezy too.

LMK we love you and will miss you always. The world was a better place with you in it.

The words are coming hard this morning, but the tears are not. We all loved L'il Miss Kiwi so much and will miss her dearly.

LMK was a precious gift from God. Your beautiful girl will be in our hearts always.

Kiwi we miss you and love you. Fly free little one.

Li'l Miss Kiwi! You were the ambassador for parrotlets everywhere. There is no telling how many parrotlets are now loved and cherished because of the things you and your mom have done. Your spirit will live on forever, because I, for one, will NEVER FORGET YOU.

Li'l Miss Kiwi... small and lovely, but with a heart as big as the world. Your tiny soul was filled with so much spirit that it could do nothing less than shine on many, blessing them with a little bit of yourself. Such a little bird... such a huge legacy. The prayers that helped you in your final weeks of struggle are nothing compared to the prayers from all of us who love you and lift you to heaven.
How wonderful that your final moments here wrapped you, your mom and dad in the tender but bittersweet glow of love. Rest well, dear sweet bird.

So sad, I just heard about Miss Kiwi. But I know you will be together again at the Rainbow Bridge, so that is something to look forward to. I remember your sharing of Kiwi winning her prize at the bird show. I suspect Mr. Tux is missing her dearly. Please share with us at senegal@wingscc.com.

Little Miss Kiwi you will be so missed. You brought such joy to so many people around the world. I never failed to smile at a picture of you and Bill. Your family will be sad for a long time but we on the internet will do our best to cheer them for you.
Jody

Li'l Miss Kiwi, you are going to be so missed by so many people. You are the smile on the little face and I know you are sharing that smile at the Bridge with others there. What a special little girl you were, I'm so glad your Mom shared you with us! I'm so happy that you got to feel the loving hands of your Mom one last time, she loves you so much. I will pray for your Mom, Dad, and Bill at this difficult time in their lives. And more prayers of thanks for getting to know what a wonderful girl you were. Fly Free LMK, we miss you!!

Dear LMK and your family, especially Judie, John and Bill;
I am so sorry to hear you had to leave us. I learned to love parrotlets thanks to you. You blessed us all. You will never be forgotten.
God Bless from Anne and her flock...

LMK, you were and always will be loved by many. You taught us all so much about parrotlets, how smart and silly and joyful they can be. And in your last weeks you taught lessons of strength and good nature. I hope you are in the good company of Milo and all the other sweet birds whose spirits flew free of their bodies before you. Fly free little one.

I will miss you,
Chris

Know that our hearts and love are with you and a piece of us went with LMK over the Rainbow Bridge too. She and you mean a lot to many, many people because of the things you have shared and taught us. Its because of LMK that I am owned by 4 lets now, I fell in love with her the first time I read about her. She will be waiting to greet you and will be flying free and happy until you meet again.

God Bless the Wellman family!

Hugs, love and prayers for strength.

LMK you will be missed for a long time to come,watch over your mom and dad now as they will miss you the most

Li'l Miss Kiwi, you are a very special little bird. When I read about you on the internet about 7 years ago, I was inspired to adopt my little Lynna. May God bless you and your loving family.
Love,
Gina & Lynna

Dear sweet little Kiwi, you will truly be missed. All your wonderful adventures, stories and adorable antics touched my heart and my life in so many ways. I will remember you always with love and laughter.
God Bless

I, too, have lost a beloved parrotlet and knoww how difficult it can be even months later. I hope this memorial will help you through those times.

Janet

Lil Miss Kiwi will live on forever, in all our hearts.
God Bless You and give you Peace. Dawn

Li'l Miss Kiwi was a very special girl to an awful lot of us and many of us only knew her through the internet! I've learned so much about parrotlets from LMK and Judie - both are excellent teachers and I thank you. I'm a better bird-mum because of Judie and LMK.

I can only imagine what it's like to lose a special family member like LMK. Kaylee will be getting extra cuddles for a long time.

Take care, - Laurie S., Edmonton, AB

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, Judie. I'm certain that this memorial page will be comfort to you. Gentle hugs ((((()))))

For such a small bird you gave so much love. My sincere condolances....Debbie

You will be so missed little one.

Judie I am so sorry . May you find some comfort in knowing that others care. God bless you at this time of sorrow.

Fly free Miss Kiwi....grab a piece of Roy's mane and he will gallop you around the meadows of the Bridge until we all meet again!
We will help your humans grieve for you.

I have read about this dear little bird for a few years now and always enjoyed the beautiful pictures that Judie took of her, and how happy and darling she always looked. She will be sadly missed by all her lister friends. Hugs to Judie, Katie and Mr. Tux from me and my Flock.

Judie I was so sorry to hear about Lil Miss Kiwi! I know how much you loved her and I can only imagine how rough this is for you. Please know my thoughts are with you and your fids.

Donna

Although I haven't been posting for almost a year, I had a good cry this morning for Lil Miss Kiwi. She and her family have a special place in my heart. My love goes out to you Judie, and Katie and Mr. Tux as well. We can't ask for a better life for our dear birds than the life Miss Kiwi had with you. I will always remember her fondly.
Susan from Panama

Judie...Diana and I along with Oscar & Boo and the rest of the flock are saddened by this. LMK is flying free with my bunch at the Rainbow Bridge, just waiting till time for us to join them again.

May God Bless you and yours.

I am so sorry to hear you lost Miss Kiwi.

For many of us, the reason we have love and care for not only our parrotlets but all our birds, is the beautiful example that Judie set for us. LMK has been such a part of all of that. I will miss her antics and travels. Judie, no bird could have left a better legacy, thank you for that. Even though she is not with you physically she will always be with you in your heart and in ours.

Dearest Judie, John, and Bill.

I was so sorry to hear that LMK passed away. She was a very much loved little girl by her immediate family and her extended family. You will be sorely missed little one. Fly free and watch over your family, Katie and Tux will miss you as well. You will never be forgotten. Bless your wonderful spirit that never gave up.
We love and miss you LMK.

Fly free sweet birdie, we all know the pain of a lost bird. And you will be missed truly.

Dear Judie - I'm so very sorry to receive this news. Please know that LMK will live on and always help the other little birds through all the love you gave her and all the information she inspired you to share.

My prayers and good wishes are with your family for healing and answers that provide good news, even if they can't provide solace. Only your memories of your sweet angel can provide that, and I hope that soon the pain fades and that the sweet and life-filled memories will fill your heart and mind again. That's another way she'll live - through your smiles and memories.

Thank you for taking such wonderful care of her that through her life with you she knew all the comfort possible and knew that you were there to take care of her and do all you can, which you did. You really did.

Love from Nathalie and flock.

Dear Judie,

I'm so sorry to hear about Miss Kiwi. You have my sympathy.

Regards,
Virginia

My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family on the loss of your beloved Kiwi. I have my own little Pacific Parrotlet named Abu, he will be 2 this month. Again my sincere sympathies.
Fly free little Kiwi you will be missed.

Little Miss Kiwi, what a blessing you have been to all of us. Know you are flying free now, but we will always remember you with love.
Prayers for the Wellman family.

Dear sweet Judie,
I am so very saddened by hearing of Kiwi's death. I don't know what happened, but no matter how we lose one we love, the pain leaves a searing, gaping hole in our heart. I wish I could do something. You are a wonderful person and I will pray for God to comfort you.
Hugs in Him,
Victoria

Judie, I am so sorry about LMK.

Lil Miss Kiwi was treasured by many, even by those who had not met her except through Judie's photos on the internet. We will always remember LMK, and are glad that Judie shared so many wonderful stories and photos with us over the years.
-Teresa and Tuca, from the Senegal list

We are praying for Judie & family
and for Little Miss Kiwi who has left them
We will miss you Little Miss Kiwi
Wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge
We will be looking for you

Judie we are so sorry to hear that Little Miss
Kiwi has gone on to the Rainbow Bridge. May you find comfort and peace in your memories of your
special friend. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am heartbroken over the news of Li’l Miss Kiwi’s passing. Be comforted with the knowledge that she was so very loved not only by those who were so close to her everyday, but by so many all over the world who never actually met her. She helped you teach so many so much about how to care for these special little angels.

Hugs to you and your family. Please know that all of us are with you in thought

Mary Jo, PeeWee and the flock

Judi it is a heart breaker to lose such a treasure. You are in my thoughts and prayer.

I know how much you must be missing your little green girl. Just remember, the hurt will fade but memories will not.

LMK is flying free with my Chacoo and will wait for you so she can greet you all with her wonderful Parrolet sounds.

Lil Miss Kiwi, I don't really know what to say, you and Judie put up such a valiant effort to stay with us, but then you always will be, with the stories, pictures and smiles you brought. I'll never forget you playing in your favorite "cup" and the special smile you had as you peaked out over the edge. I won't say Good Bye, but rather I'll see you later. Luv & Hugs Judie, John & Bilweee.
Mary Lou

I am so sorry over the loss of Li'l Miss Kiwi for Judie and her family and for the rest of the parrotlet world. LMK was such a good parrotlet ambassador and there are many who learned about her and learned about her care from Judie and then made the decision to get their own parrotlets because of that. She will be sorely missed by me, who knew her as one of the bravest little parrotlets ever. Riko gives parrotlet wing waves to his cousin and says he hopes to see her one day...

With love and affection,
Roxanne, Riko and Kalee

Judie, and John and Bill, I am so very sorry for your loss of Little Miss Kiwi. She was such a special girl, and she will be missed by us all.
Judie, You are the best Bird nurse in the world. You have taught me alot in the short time I have been on the Katie list.
You are such a wonderful person and I am so glad to have you in my life!!!!
Regina

Judie and the rest of the Wellman family,
Through the years, the picture stories of Kiwi's travels and adventures have brought us much joy. We've laughed with you, cried with you, been frustrated with you...learned so very much from you and Kiwi. You, and she, have always felt like family. Even though I never actually "met" her, I felt I KNEW her! You shared so much! She set the standard we all tried to achieve with our birds. She let people know that female parrotlets could make good pets too. You made her a part of your life, your travels and you shared her lovely personality with us all. She was/is famous! She was quite a little lady, loved by many and will be sadly missed. But, she touched so many lives that she will never, ever be forgotten.
Thank you, Wellman family, for sharing this beautiful, precious little girl with us. I am honoured to have been a small part of her life.
Fly free, little Braveheart, you were always beautiful, but especially when flying. You will always hold a very, very special place in my heart.
I love you Ki.
Auntie Nan

Judie, John and Bill,
I am so sorry to hear of darling Kiwi's passing. For almost ten years the sun rose and fell on LMK through the eyes of many people. Your love for her encouraged the love and care of parrots world wide.
Best wishes. Fly free dear Little Miss Kiwi.

Colleen

Dear Judie, John, & Bill...my tears are still flowing for Little Miss Kiwi, may your memories of LMK always bring joy to your hearts. She was so loved by all of us. LMK Braveheart, you are a legend among parrotlets...Fly free with all the other feathered Angels until you meet with your family again. Love, Bev & the Fids

Dearest Judie, John and Bill:

I was soooo saddened when I read about Little Miss Kiwi’s passing. I cried and cried – I know your heart is breaking. May the prayers and warm thoughts being shared by others and the wonderful memories of this Little Miss bring comfort to you.

I remember when Val introduced me to you, LMK and the Newscheeps group – your delightful writings, photos and the stories of your wonderful flock have inspired me many times. I especially remember all your travels with her – I am sure she is the most travel bird ever! She has left an impression on all of us and your wonderful care of her has shown me how important my own U2 is in my life!

I am praying for your comfort at this sad time… many hugs and prayers go out to you and your family.

LMK, you were the one who introduced me to parrotlets and taught me how much love little birds can share. I got to meet your wonderful Mommy Judie, your Daddy, John, and your brother, Bippee, plus your feathered brothers Danny Boy and Tux, and your little sister Katie. You were such a shining example of love, but you were also such a brave little girl. I thank God that I got to know you and I will miss you terribly. Because of you I now have some of the best friends of my entire life. You made many people so happy and made the world a much nicer place. You touched so many lives and we are all the better for having been a part of your life.
You were truly a much loved little angel from Heaven and will always be remembered.
Fly free, sweet Ki.

Judie, the world was a better place because of LMK, she was an inspiration to bird lovers everywhere. I enjoyed her stories and pics, she was such a sweet little one. When the sadness passes, there are many wonderful memories of the good times you shared with your special little girl to bring back the smiles. (-:

LMK what a small treasure to your wonderful family. You will be deeply missed by so many...

Judie, I am so sorry for your loss. LMK was a loyal and loving member of your family and I'm sure she's going to be your little birdie guardian angel from now on. If she could have, I know she would have thanked you for your kind, gentle, loving care, you are a great bird mother. We are so blessed to love and be loved by these little parrotlets! We learn so much from them. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

LMK was the most loved Parrotlet I know. She was an ambasador for all Parrotlets and she will be truly missed. Love to her family.

So sorry to hear that Little Miss Kiwi lost her battle. I know the heartbreak you are feeling now. She is flying free and I'm sure watching over you all.

Dearest LMK....You touched my heart and the hearts of many. You were pure perfection and truely The Parrotlet Ambassador. You brought pure joy and love to everyone, and especially your family. Ki, you are forever in my heart. Fly high and free dearest little one...soar with the Angels...for you are God's littlest Angel. I can say that I have been "touched by an Angel" and have been truely priviledged to know you and your loving mother Judie. I send love to Judie, John, and your dear Bippee. Bless you LMK. I love you forever and then some.

I'm so glad I had the chance to meet LMK a number of years ago. May the Lord be with you and your family and help you with your grief. Marian

I am so sorry for your loss. Li'l Miss Kiwi gave so much to new and long time parrotlet owners she made the lives of many parrotlets better and she will be missed greatly.

Li'l Miss Kiwi, You were so loved by your family and friends- even those who only knew you via internet. I have enjoyed your stories and pictures and, through you, I have grown very fond of your family. Wonderful little girl, you left us way too soon and we miss you so much. I hope you will find my sweet Little Louie at Rainbow Bridge and keep her company until I see her again one day.

Losing her is like losing one of our own, she is proabbly the only one I know that had sooooo many friends and Auntie's and Uncle's and cousins, in the bird world.

I send my love to you and yours and knwo that LMK is soaring the beautiful kingdom waiting for the day you all join her too.

Hi Judie:
We all feel such sorrow for your loss. Little Miss Kiwi was the reason my Mom has a parrotlet and ultimately what lead me to learn about Mr Tux and own my own Senegal Moochie. So in essence LMK is the reason such happiness and feathered friends came into our lives. Her passing certainly hit our hearts and we send much love and hugs your way. LMK will always have a special place and memory in our family.

Judie, John Bil you all did a wonderful job with LMK.she is now free and she wil always remain in our hearts
Fly free and high litle one, for one so small you had a heart so big

I just found out about Li'l Miss Kiwi passing away. She's been an inspiration for tons of parrotlet owners. She'll be truly missed by everyone.

Hi Judie, it is with great sadness that I read that L'il MIss Kiwi has left this earth. I was trying to keep up with her updates and must have missed the horrible day that she passed. I am so very sorry to hear of such a loss of such a sweet and loving little girl. She has taught many new and many "old" parrotlet owners things in her very short time on this earth. May she fly free and forever be looking over her beloved humans and one day help them to make their journey "home" as well. HUGE ((((((((((HUGS))))))))to you Judie and family. =)

Every time I see pictures or posts on Parrotlet Express about LMK it brings tears to my eyes. Such a loved little girl who has taught a lot of people about how wonderful parrotlets are. She is so loved and missed.

Cindy

To our wee angel Little Miss Kiwi-you will be sorely missed.
Though I have not known you and your Mom long, I do miss you and feel the pain that your Mom is going through.
You were a very brave little girl.
Bless you and your family.
Deb

LMK was a special soul who brightened our lives immensely. I whole-heartily believe that she was an instrument of God....touching us in a way only she could.

We love & miss you.

LMK and Judie helped me decide to become a p'let mom. Thanks to both of you for sharing your wisdom. Without it, many of us would never have known the joys of parrothood. My sympathy and prayers are with you.

Dear Judy,

Last week at work I snuck a peek at my e-mail from Parrotlet website and realized Li'l Miss Kiwi died. I sat there in shock and honestly could not get her out of my mind. Along with so many others you helped me get my Parrotlet, my angel and sweetheart. It was you're opinion I valued in making my choice of a Parrotlet. I am so very sorry. I know this is hard. I will leave you with a sentence I read recently that has put loss in perspective for me. Grief...is the price we pay for love.

Be well, and know you're loved ad admired.
Lisa

Lil' Miss Kiwi,
I have had the pleasure of hearing about your fantastic life through your Mom. You will be greatly missed by not only your family, but everyone on the Senegal list, like myself.
I know that you are flying high in heaven, with all the other birds.
Love,
Terry, Beautiful, and Toni

LMK will be missed!! I've been away on a camping trip in Oregon for the past 10 days. While gone I thought about LMK a lot (truly) and worried about her more than I even worried about my own two feathered babies at home with their sitter. I am so sad to come home and read the news of her passing. Hugs and positive wishes for a smooth healing for Judie and her family!

Dearest Judie,

I am so very, very sorry. My heart goes out to you. Together, you and she made a lasting contribution to aviculture via the internet that will not soon be forgotten. Everybody has heard of LMK, and many pet birds (and their owners) have better and richer lives today because of her.

Thank you for bringing her into mine!

Much love, (((HUGS))) and prayers,

Kathy

Our Precious little LMK,
You are the main reason I now enjoy having 2 parrotlets in my life. You brought us all more joy than you could ever know. The world is less bright without you in it and you will be loved and missed forever. Love, Sue, Otto, Vic, Squirt and Kiko

Lil' Miss Kiwi.....The love you came to count on in life, has followed you.
Judie and Family.....I am at a loss for words... I pray for you to be comforted through your wonderful memories of your sweet little Angel, and that in time, your hearts will heal.
Dawn, Ludlow and Triton

Lil' Miss Kiwi,
Fly free little one. It was my great pleasure to meet you, even though it was just a moment, you will remain in my memories for the rest of my life.

LMK - You've left a big aching hole in our hearts, but you'll never know pain or suffering again. You were one of the first parrotlets we met. We were blessed with your presence in our internet family and we'll miss you so much. You helped Judie teach us so much about what it's like to have a sweet little creature accept us and love us in spite of our faults. We'll always love you and think of you, flying "free as a bird". Our sincere condolences to you Judie and your family. I pray your hearts will mend in time and maybe you'll be able to honor LMK's memory of love and devotion by welcoming a new member of her family into yours. She would not want you & Tux & Lady Katherine to be alone.

Love Joyce, Skip, Kookie and Garbanzo

LMK was such a special little bird! I never met her in person, but there is a sad place in my heart now that is hers.

Zippy & I will miss all the wonderful stories of the adventures of LMK. She is why I kept parrotlets. Thank-you Judy for sharing all the wonderful information and stories.

LMK was a bright light in our feathered community, and will be missed. Take care, Judie.

Judie, I am so sorry to hear about LMK. My heart goes out to you on your loss of such a wonderful little companion

Big Hugs
