Sprinting down the street
This morning, my 43yr old blue crown conure, Crackers, died of a heart attack. I feel so awful and feel like it is all my fault. I had just put the macaws on their stands in the living room and went to the bird room (where the small birds get to fly free during the day) to change out toys. Sarge (my military macaw) had climbed down off her stand (witch she NEVER does) and followed me into the bird room (i didn't know she was even off her stand). As I was changing out toys I saw a blur of green and felt something brush by my legs. I look down and sarge was at my feet and cracker had just jumped onto the floor next to her (he loves any bird all he wanted to do was cuddle with her). In a split second it was all over. She never even bit him, all she did was lunge at him but I guess due to his age that is all it took. He started convulsing and fell over. I picked him up and held him while he died in my hands.
I feel sooo awful. I love and miss him so much already. I don't know how I am gonna look at Sarge the same way again. I know it's not her fault but all I can think about is how Crackers is gone and I will never get him back.
