I'm a first time parrot owner. Bought my sweet angel of a bird 6 ish months ago. His name was Eli and he's a white capped pionus parrot. He was only 11 months old
I tamed him myself (he was parent raised). I followed every rule in the book to keep him safe
A couple weeks ago, something didn't seem right, his poop was a bit watery and I just had a feeling, but couldnt actually pin point anything
The vet appointment was supposed to be tomorrow.
yesterday I woke up and saw him at the bottom of the cage, trying to climb back up but he couldn't. He was so weak. It came out of the blue, it was so sudden. The night before he seemed fine, if a bit tired looking. He let my and boyfriend stroke him for the first time ever, i thought our bond was just getting closer
Whilst on the way to the vet he died in my partners arms
I am absolutely devastated. I've never grieved the loss of a pet before. I don't know how to handle it.
Does anyone have any advice for coping? I keep blaming myself for not seeing that something was wrong with him the night before
I just want him back
