We are in shock.. She was so young she was my little sweetheart.. Its amazing our African Gray understood that she was gone she looked so sad and was making a noise that she was crying.. She loved her boys they were two males cockatiel we have. They miss her. They both seam lost. Our other two birds are really quite. We are all just snuggling and talking about her. This site is a life line to me and my husband. My husband was in tears with all the support and kind words. How do you get over this????????? She was like one of our kids....... She never never never bit she was so kind always!!!!!!! I am lost mad that I couldn't save my baby! Sorry I just need to VENT!!!!!! Many people just don't understand.. "Its only bird" that's what they say. I am so grateful for all of you.

For most of us who lose our best buddy in the world - we never "get over" it, we just learn to live with the pain. The pain does get less and less with time and one day you will realize that you think about Phoenix with only good thoughts.

It doesn't seem fair, but there are those times that we and our bird fight our very hardest, but we still lose the battle. Still we can take some comfort in knowing that we did all that was possible.

I'm so sorry about Phoenix. It's so hard to say goodbye when we grow to love them so much.

I am so so sorry, :'(
Fly high and free Phoenix!

And I lost my cat, Booger, and I still think about him some days and cry. He was such a huge part of our family. He went through a move with us, dealt with us bringing in another cat and two dogs, and you just never forget about them, all of their little quirks and ways they showed their love. I personally don't think you ever get over it, you just kind of move on and learn to live with the loss. I feel like for me crying helped a lot. I probably cried for a week straight after we lost him. It just felt good to let all of the sadness out. Sometimes I think I see him walking around the house at night, like he's checking in on us. I hope that soon the heavy heavy feeling of loss can be lifted from you and your husband :hug8: :hug8:

We decided to do a cremation on Phoenix so we can always be together.. I cry daily and just missing her like crazy.. She would love love to take a shower with my husband she was his shower buddy so he is having a rough time without her.. Thanks for the continued support. One Day At A Time.
