Im very sad
 

My baby bird Maxima passed away this evening :( im crying so much i can hardly type. We are so heartbroken. She was the most precious thing, her, and i had a special bond, i was teaching her to talk, and she would try to repeat what i said.
Last weekend we noticed her picking on a plant, i remember my son jumped up, and took her away from it. Last thursday we took her to the vet because she didnt look right, she was quiet, and just wanting to sit with me.

When i walked over to her cage, i saw her laying at the bottom, i touched her, and she looked at me, dropped her head, and was gone :(

Mandy, I'm so sorry you lost your beloved bird. I myself am not a bird person at all, in fact I'm afraid of them, but I have friends who feel the same about their birds as I do about my doggies. I wish there was something I could do to help heal your heart. I only know to say I'm sorry for your loss and I will keep you close in thought and prayer.

Thanks Janet, it hurts so bad when you lose something you love so much. :( Im just thankful i was there with her. It might sound silly to some, to cry over a bird, but i love her with all my heart! It hurts so bad :(

I am so sorry for you; it's difficult to lose our furry friends. I can truly understand and almost feel the pain you have. Take special care of yourself.

No hon, it doesn't sound silly at all. I do have a short story if you don't mind.

I have always been afraid of birds, I remember, even my mom remembers me having a nightmare in my crib of chickens on my bed. Anyway...when I first took my son to daycare, the lady and her husband bought an African Grey Parrot. It was learning to talk and I was getting use to it a little because it was in this huge cage in the living room. I would never get too close though. Well one day we were all talking and laughing and then this bird started laughing too. Her husband came in and said she what you've done???? That bird laughed exactly like me....I have a destintive laugh...loud and cackle. Well this bird was laughing like me all the time and was driving Tony crazy. I then felt a little affection for this bird, although I was still afraid of it.

Thanks Dustiey, and Janet, its comforting to come here, and talk to you guys. She was just such a sweet little thing, much sweeter then the other one i have. She loved life, thats for sure!

Mandy,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss.. Its so hard losing any animal.. I cried when I had to give my pet mouse away!! You make a bond with tme and you love them.. Just think, she is in Birdie heaven looking down upon you and singing and talking as much as she can.. She's your little angel now

Mandy, It is not silly to feel the way you do for your beloved bird. She was part of your family and you had your special time with each other. I feel your pain and once the crying has stopped you will have your loving memories of her.. Take care .

Gosh I am so sorry...so heartbreaking...

Aww, Mandy, I'm so sorry! I don't think it's silly at all. It is normal to feel sad when you lose something you love, no matter what it is. I couldn't imagine how sad I would be if anything ever happened to my Marty. *hugs*

Mandy, if it's not too painfull, do you have any pictures of her you can share with us. I would love to see her. I've thought about you all morning...I hope you are doing a little better.

Mandy,

I'm so sorry about your bird. Losing a pet is heartbreaking. I will keep you in my prayers and my heart.

Mandy, I'm so sorry to hear that you lost one of your beloved pets. :hug: It sounds like she was very special.

Mandy, how are you doing?

I hope you are feeling better Mandy.
