and no one understands. I'll post here and I know I'll be ripped up for being so stupid. But I don't care. I keep bursting into tears at work. I just feel so stupid.
I had two Linnies. Arnold and Sebastian. I received them about a year ago.
I tried to spoil them. I bought them a nice cage, then decided my boys deserved a mansion. I bought them a much larger home.
I had so many toys in there for them.
One thing I'd purchased for my boys is a stupid cloth bed that hangs down. Arnold LOVED that damn thing. He initially would share it with Sebastian. Then he kicked him out and the hubby and and I joked about how protective Arnold was of his hanging bedroom.
My husband works from home. His home office is shared with Arnold and Sebastian. He texted me when I was at work that he thought Arnold was dead.
My little man had made a window on the opposite side of that cursed bed, and apparently tried to climb in to go to bed. His little neck got caught in thread. He panicked and snapped his neck.
I keep crying, sobbing. I'm so stupid for letting him have that. I feel really bad for everyone, my kids ((we're burying him this weekend, my son says I need to get him a stone with his name on it).
But mostly I worry about Sebastian. Now he's alone in that big cage.
I've been to the only bird specialty store in my state. They haven't seen Linnies in at least a year. They said I can't even get him a budgie as a friend. Can't house him with any other bird than a Linnie. But, unless I have a minimum of $500 (cost of bird, DNA, shipping) to spend I won't find a companion for Sebastian.
My husband works from home every other week. On those off weeks, I thought of having a talk show radio in all day. I also put a mirror in his cage, which he seems to like.
I'm worried about him. He's louder now. More vocal. This has been so bad.

I am glad you are able to finally talk about it, it will help some. Hindsight will make you crazy, but you could not have done more than you did because you did not know that might happen or you would have done differently. You are only guilty of doing your best to make them happy.
R.I.P little Arnold 
She's gorgeous!
