Really sad to hear about Kirby. 
I'm owned by a Goffins Cockatoo, Precious, who greets me every morning with "I love you" over and over until I take her out of her cage and then we exchange hugs (she puts her cheek against my hand and kisses (on the mouth).
While her species can live 60 to 70 years, I often worry about her because she has taken to plucking her beautiful feathers and that concerns me.
I know I'd be devastated if she were to pass, so I can imagine how you feel.
I hope that the rest of your flock gives you some comfort.
Best wishes and condolences,
GeneL and Precious
