I am so very sorry for your loss. You don't know if those candles were the culprit or not, it could have been a number of things so please be easy on yourself. I am very sorry that she is gone.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

It's hard, particularly when something was done in ignorance. I know -- it happened to me too.

For now, cry, morn, grow. You have our prayers.

You'll never forget, but it will get better.

In time, it gave me peace knowing even the mistakes I made were done with my bird's best intentions in mind -- you loved her, and that's true of you as well. Your next lovely bird won't be Peaches, but they will be special, and they'll be safer and better off in your care because of her.
I'm not sure how to address everyone that has responded to my post but all of you are so supportive and sweet and I love you guys so much ❤ I called pet haven and will be getting her ashes and I will keep her small vase in a room in my house I couldn't just throw her away or bury her I loved her so so much

I'm so sorry for your loss. We all make mistakes and learn from them. I did not take good care of my previous parrot that I had as a child. I had no idea he needed toys so all he ever had was perches. I try not to blame myself. This taught me so much.

Please don't blame yourself at this point. We have all made mistakes and mistakes are what make us humans. I know it is very difficuly but we are all here for you.

He's doing great! I'm having some trouble understanding how to teach him how to step up though. He seems to like flying to my shoulder and sleeping in my hair and he does not bite but he tries to preen my neck ☺ I have no experience with a green cheek conure so I'm reading threads now!

That´s not quite what I meant. I posted before you told us all about the conure. I was refering to your other lovebird - I see two in your profile photo and I was curious how the other was doing. But now I´m thinking you don´t have that other bird anymore either?

The hair thing is mostly nerves. Your hair is "safe" and warm, and the rest of the world is scary. A little time, encouragement and play will ease that.

As for stepping up, you've probably seen some instructions all over the avenue for clicker and target training . . . they really do help your bird learn what you like and what you're asking for. Trick is to find something he loves, and use that as the reward to match the click. Finding that takes some experimenting, but when you pull a piece of fruit or seed into your hand and it becomes a "Maui Magnet", you know that'll do ;)

I'm sorry for your loss. I know how you feel.
Feeling guilty is the hardest part of grieving. Unfortunately only time will ease the pain.

I can’t imagine. I’m so sorry for your loss. Don’t blame yourself, it was done out of ignorance and birds don’t give you much leeway when it comes to air quality. Just take this time to mourn your loss and forgive yourself. Your intentions were only to give the best home to your bird. Don’t forget about her, make something important with her name on it so you can always remembered. Rest In Peace Peaches:sadhug2:

Peaches didn't make it...
I have been crying and my heart is broken into pieces..I killed my lovebird. I should have known that those candles were poisonous but I didn't do enough research and I just feel like she's gone because of my ignorance
How can I get through the grieving process? I'm so hurt and broke and I've been crying since I got the call from the vet
Oh I am so so sorry. My parakeet passed away a few months ago. I know how you feel. Just let yourself have a time of grieving. Losing a feathered friend is heartbreaking.
