I'm in a bit of shock right now, one of my budgies fell from her perch and died shorty afterward in my hand.  She broke her neck and choked on her own blood.  :'( (sorry if that was gross) She was only three years old.  Now the worry is her mate.  He has been calling for her and all.  Just a little dazed right now, god I wish this didn't happen.  I've had birds for years and this is the second to break it's neck.  Needless to say I've been cuddling bunny and hubbies been good too. :-[ :'(

I'm so sorry, Lisabelle.  It must be heart wrenching to hear him call for her.  I went through that with my cat, Sweetie.  Her brother died and she cried every night for weeks.
6 months after that we got the boys, and now she hisses.

(((((hugs)))))

I know nothing about birds as pets.  Is it common for a bird to break its neck?  Sorry if that's a distressing question.

(((((hugs)))))

Oh, I'm so sorry about your bird. It's so sad that the same thing happened twice.

((((Onee san))))

Sakina, Juri Chan thank you so much.  I hate losing pets, it's so heart breaking.  Tomorrow were going to bury her in the yard.  I will do a little Buddhist type ritual with incense and prayers.  I really don't know if birds breaking there necks is common at all.  Still she did not suffer long :'(

I'm sorry Lisabelle.  I had a parakeet that died last september, her name was Tweety and nearly 15 years old. One night I found her at the bottom of the cage, really weak and would fly up to her perch. The next day she was dead.

Sakina:

When my cat died, I thought my other cat was lonely so we got a kitten. Three years later and she still cant stand her.

Thank you SexyWitch, my friend who is a manager at a pet shop wants to get me another bird. I said I want to wait for a while :-/

I'm so sorry Lisabelle :'( :'(

We had love birds a few years ago, the female died and the male would keep hitting himself against the cage until he died :-/

It's ok for you to wait a bit, and probably good for Sota too.

(((((((((Lisabelle))))))))

ETA- i wrote loved birds instead of love birds :P

Egad. Sorry to hear about your bird, Lisabelle. *hugz*

My young cousins have a budgie that looks just like your Sota. Such interesting noises they make...

Your funeral arrangements for Mme. Butterfly sound beautiful. I'm sure she'll be very honoured & feel very blessed to have spent her life with such a devoted "mother."

God bless.

im sorry to hear about your bird lisabelle! i hope God  eases your grief.

Lisabelle, I'm so sorry.  I raised budgies for several years.  I had one, a female, that died in my hand too.  I cried so hard--I know how much we come to love our pets.  They are gifts of God to us, aren't they! Little (or big) rays of joy in our lives.

Curlygirl, Chirstina - Thank you so much.

Thank you Angel Spun, were going to wait for a warmer day to do the funeral.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.  

I'm sorry about your bird... she was so cute. We lost a parakeet when he flew into a wall. Poor babies :(. Btw we buried all our dead animals too. Even the ones who just happened to die near the house..liek a squirrel and a pigeon.

Omigosh, Lisabelle!!  I'm so sorry about your budgie...  That is so sad...  *hug*

So sorry you've lost such a lovely pet, and that her mate is so sad.  May God comfort all of you.

Sara, Bikerbraid, Cynde, PreciousLocks, Thank you all so much. :)

Oh Lisabelle...  :-/ :'( I'm so sorry to hear about your birdie. *hugs and blessings

Anais

Thank you Anais :)

Aw, Lisa. :/  I don't even know what to say.  I'm bad with condolences, and all.

My friend's dog, Annie, just died recently.  It really took its toll on him and me -- especially since I'm at school.  I can't comfort him, and he can't comfort me.  :'(

I know I talked to Annie for hours -- about stuff that nobody else knows.  I'm sure that Madame Butterfly was the same way for you.

I'm very sorry.

I'm so sorry. She was a very beautiful bird.

Pan, Galadriel Thank you  :)
