Hello everyone! My name is Alanah and I recently got 2 lovebirds (grey headed) that I was told were a boy and girl but wasn’t sure which one as which. They also told me they only got them last December so they weren’t that old. Anyway everything was going great until my bloody cat decided to attack one of the poor babies. I have a shed/outdoor house type thing that I use for some of my animals (rabbits, rats, hamster, and birds), during the day I open the window for some airflow (no animals are out of the cage unless I am present and the window is closed) but I hadn’t realised my cat had snuck in previously as was hiding behind the couch. As I was cleaning the cages I turned to find my cat with one of the birds in it’s mouth. My parents convinced me that he/she would be ok so I stupidly left it and didn’t take it to the vets. He/she died yesterday evening and I buried it under the massive lavender bush I have in the garden. I blame myself profusely, but I want to know what I can do for him/her. I’ve done some research but only so much can come from words on a page, experience is the best knowledge. If anyone could help me I would really really appreciate it. I have severe anxiety and depression so I do not leave my home much and I spend a lot of time with my animals as they help when I’m down. I was hoping to get cockatiels and a larger parrot species (maybe a cockatoo) in the future but due to this maybe I should get another one now for my birdie. He/she isn’t alone now but (hopefully) once I start getting back into education I won’t have nearly the amount of free time I have now. Sorry for rambling on. Thank you!!!
