In case you haven't been following @pepperandpals.bsky.social, sadly, Mango passed last week.
I still have Rebel Mango stickers at events for anyone who donates to Amanda until they run out, as she's still paying off the vet bills.
Please keep her in your thoughts and send good vibes as she grieves.

+ her cremation.

You are the best flock any bird could ask for.

whole thing. Whenever you see red jellybeans, think of Mango. Have one in her memory.

I love you forever, my sun bird.

And thank you for all your thoughts and condolences. I appreciate it. And thank you to those who have donated to help pay off what I still owe on care credit cards for vet bills

Here are the last pictures I will ever take of Mango. This is her eating her final red jellybean. In her previous home these were her favorite, but I phased them out due to the sugar. Still, she would get one once in a very rare blue moon. I knew she had to have one before she went. She ate the

Thank you for your condolences. I'm sorry I don't have the energy to respond. While all of this was going on I have also been dealing with what I'm pretty sure is the flu.

I don't think Queso understands yet, but he's happy to be on my shoulder.

I'm sorry. Mango is gone

Hay. You got seeb?

She still looks rough in this video but she is doing better. This morning she made normal vocalizations for the first time in days, which previously has been one of the first signs she's starting to feel better. She is also more active. We will be back at the vet on Monday for another Onsior shot.

Thank you so much to Seed Street Toys for the Mango care package! We both appreciate it so much 💖 Seed Street has some of Mango's most favorite toys ever, including this one.

Sometimes it's hard to get video of Charlie because he's like, "Your hand is not for phone. It is for holding bird."

there are no more extended hospitalizations or anything, I can rebuild my vet bill buffer.

Just wanted to make sure you all know where the money is going. Thank you again 🦜💖

canisters that helped her after a seizure on Saturday.

I am stashing away any extra money I can for upcoming shots, vet visits, etc. Any not needed will remain in a separate account for when it is needed.

The Tufts visit definitely cleaned me out, but I am hoping that if the new meds work and

medications the vets prescribe, things for Mango's cage or the bird room that will make it easier for her to get around, and food - both some easier ones for her to eat like Harrison's Recovery, and some for the bird room in general.

I also used donations to get the oxygen therapy box + a couple

Just wanted to provide some recent receipts. This isn't all of them (there's been a couple vet visits now), but it is the most recent ones from my email, text, etc.

As promised, money donated is going towards vet bills (including the Onsior shots that will need to be given every 5 days for a while)

Mango got her first Onsior injection this morning as well as some fluids. For now, you can tell she's still not feeling great. But here's hoping that changes soon with these new meds!

Bird Street Bistro is Pooka approved!

rest of her life.

If it does not work, to be entirely transparent, it will be time to consider euthanasia.

Thank you, everyone, for your donations that have given Mango this chance. And thank you for your prayers, thoughts, and good vibes.

Here's hoping.

gabapentin after that. This seems to be the most accepted treatment for avian ganglioneuritis.

Hopefully, this will work and tests can be done later to be 100% sure. If it is that, it doesn't have to be an instant death sentence, but it is something that I will have to watch for flare ups for the

So last night Mango had a seizure. I think she has had a couple before, but I wasn't 100% sure. She is going back to the vet tomorrow morning for fluids, an injection of Onsior, and will also be put on gabapentin. The tentative plan is the Onsior + gabapentin until she is stable, and then Celebrex +
