I do not think I could stand to write about what happened at this point.

My beautiful baby Amazon, Bacci is gone. He died today, and it was my fault.

I don't know what else to say right now.

Sorry to hear about your loss. When you're ready to talk about it please do, as your experience could help someone else to prevent it from happening to another bird.

As with so many fatal injuries to birds, it involves dogs. I should have been more careful. I was just trying to spend more time with him.... Its complicated, and I was careless. It cost my lovely bird his life, and my heart is broken.
I am ashamed and so sad.

So sorry to hear about that. Don't blame yourself, you're intentions were right, but an accident happened. It's not your fault, it's not even the dogs fault, as he/she is an innocent animal acting on his instincts. Bad things sometimes happen. At least your beautiful bird is not suffering right now. And remember, it only happened once, not hundreds of times like our minds replay it over and over.

Oh! You poor thing! Please don't blame yourself! There is no way anyone here would intentionally do a single thing to harm a bird. I'm terribly sorry this awful accident happened to you and so very very sorry Bacci is gone. I would encourage you to know that Bacci understood you wanted to keep him safe. Misfortune just strikes and we can never tell when or where.

Rest in Peace, Bacci: you will always be loved and remembered.

I'm so sorry, I can understand why you'd feel responsibility, but you did not deliberately put him in harm's way, it was an accident. Hindsight is always 50/50, misunderstanding a risk is understandable. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I a so sorry to read this B.M. I know us saying it won't help a great deal but try not to blame yourself. We all have, and will continue to make mistakes. You had the best intentions at heart and an accident happened. Keep reminding yourself that it was an accident.

All the best.

I am so sorry for you loss. Please don't beat yourself up. Whatever happened, you did not mean for anything bad to happen. You loved your baby and would never purposely do anything harmful.

I'm sorry for your loss. Many of us have been there with some 'fault' in our birds passing, it's awful and it will take a long time to heal but when you're ready we are here to listen and help you through it.

I am still grieving for my beloved Budgie... 4 years ago, I blame myself but forgiveness is not easy when you love them so much. It is a hard lesson learnt but I'm sure you'll never do "it" again.

It only hurts so much because you loved them so. I'm sure your baby knew that.

We are looking for a bird for our family. It's very much like we are pregnant and waiting for the day the new addition comes to the family!
This must be so terrible for you. I am so sorry for the pain you are in. You know it wasn't your intentions, I hope you can forgive yourself and learn from as well as teach, from this experience. We all are reckless sometimes, without the intention.
Again, I am soo sorry.

BirdyMomma please accept my condolences on the loss of your bird. Don't be so hard on yourself, it certainly wasn't intentional, and please do not take it out on the dog or be angry with it, it was acting within it's nature, and forgiveness is a wonderful thing. The best thing to do is mourn your loss, and learn from this 'mistake,' and know that you are in many of our thoughts. You will be ok, it will just take some time. Feel better.

How sad, I am so sorry....:(
It can happen to any of us, don't torture yourself.
We all have dogs, cats, fans in the ceilings, stoves in the kitchen, doors that left open, etc......
I think the ones who didn't have something like this happen to them are very lucky.
Take time to heal.... I feel your pain.

I am so sorry! And yes, most of us have other pets in our household too. No words can truly comfort what you are feeling and i'm sorry about that, but please know that not only do none of us 'blame' you but we probably all feel a certain amount of fear by being confronted with the sad reality of what could happen to any of us.
Hugs

Babies are fragile. That's why I don't want any part of hand feeding anymore...

At times it seems like it is easier to kill them, than keep them alive.

Sorry for your loss.

Don't beat yourself up over it.

No good can come of it.:green:
