I just joined here a few weeks ago. I've been just looking and reading about everyone's birds. I haven't had it in me to post about my baby. I'm hoping that writing about it will help me. A little over a month ago my parrotlet, Bentley was killed by accident. My husband wasn't paying attention and flopped down on the couch. Bentley had flown over to the pillow that he has behind his back and was playing on it. He didn't see him.

I have just been sick. Bentley was sweet, loving, interactive, and had a great vocabulary. I miss his "I love you's and Peekaboos so much! He would say "Do you think I'm pretty?" and "I love you" to wake me up in the morning.

Rest in Peace Bentley. Your memory will be eternal. I will always love you! Mama IMG-0950.JPG

I found AA after I lost our green cheek Pistachio to a hawk. It was 100% my fault. :sad1: I stumbled across this site while I was online looking for ways to cope. :sadhug: I hope you find what you are looking for, too.

Thank you for sharing Bentley's story. It may save another bird's life. My heart goes out to you and your husband.:darkcloud:

I´m so deeply sorry for your loss ❤

Bentley sounds like he was a wonderful bird.
As much as we as bird owners are aware that these things can happen, and try to raise exposure and awareness... at the end of the day, we are only human and accidents do happen.

Sending lots of love to you and you husband!❤

I'm so sorry this happened. I lost my baby on Easter and haven't been able to post it yet either. I hope it helps you to know you are not alone, awful things happen. Try to focus on the good memories. :sad10::sorrow:
