The African Grey bit all his neck feathers off and bobbed his head up and down all day in a bid to fight his grief.
Animal experts believe he went into a deep depression because he could not understand why George disappeared.

But a twice-daily liquid dose of a bird-friendly version of Prozac, called Clomical, has put him back on his perch.
George’s widow Helen, of Somerset, said: “He has been in quite a state since my husband died. Fred was very close to George and became depressed.”
Experts say tropical birds are very emotional and the number needing anti-depressants is rising.
