The house my husband and I go to for D&D had this lovely (but neglected) African Grey named Four. He could talk and laugh, and he loved it when I visited because I would always bring him fresh fruit and veggies.

When we showed up to game today, I found him and his cage gone. Apparently the dog (a beagle) attacked him, and he died shortly later.

I'm devastated. I really cared for him and enjoyed trying to enrich his life, and now he's just gone. ;-; I'm so upset at these irresponsible owners.

To clarify, the parrot didn't belong to anyone in my D&D group but belonged to the parents that own the house we use.

I will never understand how humans can be so unaware of the safety of a caged bird. Some people laugh at photos or videos of dogs and cats together with caged or uncaged birds. I am so sorry this happened and left you with such bad feelings.

The owners are responsible for the safety of their bird. The fact that they neglected him showed irresponsibility. I’m so sorry to hear about this and can’t imagine how must pain he must have felt as he was being killed by the dog. I’ve seen hunting dogs ravage wild birds in the most horrific way. I’m very sorry for your loss.
