I accidentally killed my green cheek conure

[dogslovepeace]

Please do not blame yourself. It was a terrible accident and you never would have done this on purpose. Big hugs to you. My heart hurts for you.

My conure hatched 2/12/15 and is VERY much a wanderer now. It came out of nowhere!! I turned around two days ago and she was on the floor with my dogs. I'm sharing this because it could have so easily been me and you would be giving me the same advice - that it was a complete accident. I'm so so sorry.

I know the guilt you feel, and please just understand this was not your fault. Accidents happen. I had an egg bound budgie that I mistakenly tried to help and she passed away before I could get her to the vet I know how much it hurts it think that you caused a beloved animal pain. But rest assured your baby knew how loved he was and he did not suffer. He passed on knowing how much you cared about him.

Hugs and love.

Thanks everyone. I can't even grieve, because I feel too much guilt and regret. The fact that it was me who killed him, and how it came about makes me feel disgusted with myself. It's a sickening feeling. Honestly, I wish I never got him. So that he could've met someone better, and I wouldn't be feeling like this.

The weight of pain of killing something that was so lovable in every way is almost unbearable.

Don't think that way.
Accidents happen.
Just like humans die in car accidents. Would you wish a dear loved one never existed just to save you the pain? No... You will be better for having had your bird. You won't make that sort of mistake again, but don't think it would be better if you never had him.

(((hugs)))
I'm so sorry. It sounds like in the short time he was on this earth, he was very much loved.

I agree with the others who've said not to be too hard on yourself. Accidents do happen and GCCs are so small.

Would you feel comfortable attending grief-counseling sessions? Many animal organizations offer such a venue to help the healing process.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I truly believe some souls are meant to be here for a very short stay. Take comfort in the fact that he was happy and loved during his short stay with us.

Prayers coming your say Kiddo

I can't speak for everyone else, but I know what you are going through is a daily fear for me, I have been thru several burials for friends who screwed up and their trusting companion died!what do you say? I am one of them! It really hurts and never really goes away. It took 3 years for another bird to come into my home and that was only because the family was afraid I was loosing it(I make all the $$$) they brought JoJo into my life and after several panic attacks we are doing better.
My point? What you and I did, in our own eyes only, is unforgivable, but if we allow it to cripple us, then the enemy has won! I really feel your pain, yours was first hand, horrible, I lost my wife with mine! Really, hang in there, you have too much to offer to these little guys!

I am so sorry for stealing your guilt, but it so resonates with mine for these years, I guess, if I can prove to you, you are a good person, then maybe, me too? My JoJo, bites the crap out of me at times because I try to hug him so much. Is he a replacement for Tango? Not even close! Tango was loud, demanding, my way only, and she taught me what now means!

I am left with unspeakable amount of guilt and sadness as I tell of his passing. I left him by the window as per usual, because he hated being stuck in his cage for too long, and he enjoyed staring outside and listening to the wild birds chirping. I left him there and I took a nap. When I woke up, I found him underneath me - crushed. His body was still warm, but he died within minutes. He must've flew down to my bed which is next to the window, and cuddled up next to me. When I woke up and moved to the side, that's when he must've been killed. I am thinking of a proper way to give him a burial he deserves. I am completely wrapped with guilt, and I'm quite speechless. He was a 10 week old green cheek conure; born mid-February. He was a healthy, affectionate, and happy little bird. He was unfortunate in that he met a stupid and careless person as I am.

He deserved so much more. I will never forget him despite the short amount of time that I had him. For anyone who is reading this... I hope that you don't make the same mistake that I do.

Sabo,

I really don't know what to say other than sorry for your loss. It could have happened to anyone. I have had my bird fly down and cuddle on me when I was asleep or doze off on couch. Though I realize that could be an accident waiting to happen. Sorry for your loss.

It's so easy to blame ourselves--these creatures rely on us to keep them safe and healthy. And it's so hard to think about the things we could've done, or should've done to prevent their suffering and death. Please be easy on yourself.
