I deticated this homepage also for a long life-companion, which accompanied me in sad and in good moments, during a long time. Many nice experiences combined us. Tiko, a budgie, was 13 years a member of our family. Tiko, was much more then just a tame bird. We felt from each other, when Tiko or I had sad or good emotions, and in many nights when I was writing on my diploma thesis, Tiko cheer me to continue with my work.
It was fascinating for me, to see, how many things such a small animal can memorize in his brain. We lived in many different flats, and when we visited one of the flats again after years, Tiko immediately remind every part of this flat. Tiko also enjoyed to travel as a passanger in my car and Tiko had a lot of fun to see how the landscape shoo behind the window.
It is almost naturally that Tiko spoke a lot. Additionally, he could connect different situations with the right words. Tiko surprised me again and again when he used the exact words during different situatitons. This was of course NOT by chance.
After 13 years, he became probably cancer, and he died after a short time of suffering on August, 30, 1997, one day before Diana (Lady Di) died. Tiko fall asleep, when he was lying on my hand, and when we looked each other the last time in our eyes...
Now, Tiko lives still im my memories and at my homepage.
