Thank you man,Very sorry to welcome you to the forums under tragic circumstances. My deepest condolences for your loss of Berenice.
It was an accident, without malice or anger. I understand your guilt, please allow yourself to cry, grieve her loss and come to terms with feelings of despair. Berenice knew she was dearly loved and cherished. I hope in time her memories will bring more comfort than sadness.
I'm four years late, but I'm so sorry for your loss. I know it feels so horrible when you accidentally kill your own bird. I actually went through almost the same experience yesterday. Crushing your birds sounds like a horror story, but it is a real thing that unfortunately too many people do. My condolences go to you.Hi everyone, I'm new here, and I don't mean to be a bummer or anything, but I just want to share something that happened this morning.
I had a Green-Cheeked Conure named Gizmo. We hadn't gotten around to getting his DNA tested to determine his gender before this incident, so I will be using he/him pronouns since we all had a gut feeling that Gizmo was a boy.
Before this incident, I used to sleep a lot with Gizmo cuddled up beside me. I never paid it much thought, since I do not move at all while I sleep, and he seemed very happy. I'd always make sure he was in a spot where I could see him, and did not go to sleep before he did. Sometimes it was with me, and sometimes he would be cuddled up with a thin blanket he seemed to like.
I'm sure you guys can see where I am going with this.
Thankfully, later I was told that it is actually extremely dangerous to sleep with your bird next to you, so I stopped and opted to look for one of those tiny huts for him to sleep in.
Recently, however, we went and got his wings clipped for the first time, and I felt really bad because Gizmo seemed to be having a lot of trouble adjusting. We had not managed to find him one of those huts yet, so we just settled with covering his cage and all that. But last night I just felt really bad and thought that it wouldn't hurt to let him sleep next to me this one night as long as I was really careful. I thought that the chances of him dying were slim.
Big, big mistake.
I fell asleep before I could take any of the precautions I mentioned earlier (which probably wouldn't have helped anyway). Because he was sitting on top of me at the time that I fell asleep(I sleep on my side), he hopped down and settled for going to sleep behind me or something. In the morning when I woke up, I forgot that he was with me, and moved a little bit, then fell asleep again. That must have been when I began crushing him because a little bit later, my mom came in and realized that he was under me.
I made a really big, irresponsible mistake, and wanted to share it. I shouldn't have ever doubted how fragile birds really are, and I really regret it.
Gizmo was the most amazing bird, and I hate that he had to suffer this way. I love him so much. He deserved better.
Welcome to the forums, @Witchhazelharpy , but I'm so very sorry for the tragic circumstances that brought you here. Many of us here have suffered accidents like this and know only too well how painful it is. Sweet little Bennie was obviously much loved and I'm sure she knows you never intended to do her any harm. It's such a gift that you and she had seven happy years together, but it just makes the circumstances of her passing that much harder and you have my every sympathy. Sending many feathered hugs to you and my most sincere condolences for your loss.I'm four years late, but I'm so sorry for your loss.

Her name was Bennie, and I had a special bond with her I could never had had with any of the other birds. I had her for seven years and I'm so ashamed of myself. The world feels so empty without her.
Ma told me many times that she was already unwell and it was her time to go. I feel sick. Bennie could've lived longer. I love her so so much.
I was inspecting Apple since he had had some bad droppings the other day. I was seated on the sofa. I thought Bennie was on the coat-hanger.
I was so horribly mistaken.
Once I stood up, I saw the lifeless body of Bennie flattened against the sofa. I was in shock. I ran downstairs to get help, and fortunately a kind lady came to help me. She was a specialist in birds. She did all she could, but Bennie was already dead.
I felt so disgusted at myself. Bennie deserved so much better. I couldn't stop crying. She was the most special one.
It felt so unreal once she had passed. It felt so empty. Whenever I looked at the three, no.. Two, it always felt like something was missing.
Something will always be missing. I deeply regret what I have done. I burst into tears whenever I imagine her memory. She was the sweetest, loveliest little thing.
Fly high, Bennie.

Hi everyone I'm new, 18 years old.
This morning, I woke up 6:45am and had no idea that I crushed my pet bird.
Rio, a turquoise green cheek. At 11pm, I went to bed and knowing rio was sleeping on top of the tv, and that was the last time I saw him before I went to sleep. When I woke up, I was looking around the room and had saw that rio was not sleeping on the TV, so I got up and turned around and saw rio crushed, I panicked, literally grabbed him and went to mum, crying. I only thing that this couldve happened is that, rio wanted to cuddle up under the covers to get warm, as he loved to cuddle up with me. He wasnt even 1 years old yet, just got him at early April, 2 days before my birthday, he was my baby. I just can't believe he's gone. I feel like this guilt will never go away after this.
I Love u rio.
