| Question about Pets:How do you deal with bird loss? |
I'm so sorry to hear that. :( What type of bird was it and what was his/her name?
The grief of losing a pet can be just as much or even more so than a human dying. It is not stupid at all.
I have lost many birds, last Friday we had a very strong wind which tipped my aviary (which was bolted to concrete by the way and was still shifted by the wind) and I lost one of my birds. They are my children, and it is very difficult.
Crying does help, so does making a tribute. You might want to plant a small garden or tree in memory of your bird (where it was buried maybe). Or if you are an artist, draw a picture, write a poem, write a song, etc, in memory of your bird.
It does hurt, and that is normal. Just never forget the times you had with your bird. If you can, write down your memories. You might regret forgetting them. ((HUGS))
(by the way, just want to point out that no bird is replaceable! birds are all individuals with emotions and experiences. you can't just 'buy a new one' and give it the same name or something. I find that so insulting when one of my birds die and some tells me to 'replace it'. However, buying a new bird does help ease the pain for some people, just remember that you are not and can never replace an individual)
