Walking the driveway
My Skittles flew away. Anytime we have taken her outside she grasps onto us and won't let go. We have taken her outside so many times. To get the mail or hang out on the back deck. Today she decided to fly away. We hadn't clipped her wings in awhile and my husband told me we needed to do it soon. We shouldn't have brought her out without clipping her wings first but we did thinking she would never fly away from us. My son said mom next time you get a bird don't take it outside. How many times has she been outside with us and never flew off. I guess you take it for granted that your bird will not fly away. I went looking for her but she's nowhere to be found and I can't take it. What am I going to do without her and worrying about whether or not she's okay. I feel so stupid and guilty. I cant believe I let this happen. I hope and pray someone finds her. I truly don't know what to do. I know she won't come back on her own. I'm sure she's scared and doesn't understand whats happening or what to do. I always felt bad clipping her wings and when I told people that I did that they thought I was awful for doing it. This time I let them grow thinking I was benefiting her and allowing her to be her bird self. I never thought she would fly away. She's always attached to me and my husband but she's like any dog or cat who might take off, the only difference is she has wings and I can't find her. My heart is wrenching. What do I do.
