Baby Dillon
By Terri Leinneweber

I loved the very first Senegal I ever saw. I waited for 2 years before giving in. Dillon, my beautiful baby, was born in the spring of 1991. He was the sweetest bird I have ever met. He loved everyone, from the youngest child to the oldest granny. He would sit quietly nestled in my hair as long as I would let him stay. When he played, he was a wonderful acrobatic little clown. Dillon only wanted to live and love.

On September 10, 1996, I awoke to find Dillon convulsively ripping feathers from his abdomen. I had to literally hold his head to stop him. He was rushed to the vet, where every test known to man was done. He was put in a collar. On September 17, 1996, I woke to find Dillon in severe seizures. He died in my hands on the way to the vet's office.
