Goodbye Weebird
My world has just been shattered.
I accidentally killed my pet green cheeked conure, Weebird when I was working on artwork. And I had Weebird out for exercise . She was sitting on my leg as I was coloring a picture. She then flew to the floor to pick at something When I went to stand up to get something and I accidentally stepped on her tail and she freaked and I freaked lifting my foot up and lost my balance, accidentally bringing my other foot down directly on top of her with my full weight as she suddenly circled towards me.
She died instantly.
Birds like her are somewhat rare when they choose you. Of the clutch of 6, 5 of her siblings didn't come near me, she cuddled under my beard and stuck to me like glue. I knew then and there I had to have her.
She was my little pal, companion, she would sit on my shoulder and preen herself or fall asleep. She would greet me when I got up, cheep out loud if I was getting up and making noise. Got upset when I'd be getting ready for work. Always greeted me getting home with happy chirps and a 'C'mer birdie" . Loved to wedge herself between me and the phone whenever I was talking to somebody and chat at the other person. If I was having a rough day, she'd always would whisper little duck sounds in my ear and get a smile from me.
I'm utterly torn apart it happened, that I was the cause of her death. I blame myself for losing my balance and not simply falling backwards. I now have to pass the info of her death to my daughter who loved her dearly. I fear my daughter will be upset that I accidentally killed her beloved little green friend.
This place is going to be so quiet, no longer cheerful peeps from a feathered friend, a companion that I adored. I'm crying my eyes out as In type this.
I'm so sorry little bird, I'm so so sorry it happened to you. I am so so sorry.

omg D: dude, I am so, so sorry. I've accidentally killed a pet too, she was a budgie. Almost the exact same way, too -- I stepped on her by accident. +_+;;;; But you know what, you don't have to tell your daughter exactly what happened. You can say you burnt something in a teflon pan, and didn't get the smoke out in time. Small birds, like finches will die when exposed to any kind of air toxin; they used canaries down in the mines for a reason. I don't know if a parrot the size of Weebird would suffer the same, but... well. :/
I can’t use the Teflon pan excuse, both she and the Ex know I don’t have anything Teflon coated cookware due just that.
I just can’t make up a story that deflected from the truth in this case. I only hope she understands it was just an accident and never intentionally done. She knows I loved that bird.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Rabbi. Birds go into shock quickly to ease their passing. I don't think she felt any pain or knew what was happening.
I know how hard it is to lose a pet like that so suddenly, my sister was swapping out the cage bars to clean them and one of her cockatiels crashed to the bottom of the cage and died quite suddenly over what should have been routine cage maintenance.
Remember Weebird's song. She's still with you.

OMG my momma used to own a Yellow Headed Amazon Parrot her name was Penelope she taught her to never bite unless some one is hurting her. she taught her cuss words such as "green beans" and "To the stars" also "Why I oughta" giggles. I am so sorry for your loss of a family member. We lost Penelope too. *hugs*
wanted to message here even tho I emailed you a hug because...here’s more *hugs* I just honestly don’t even know what to say...I’m gonna miss that little green chatterbox (for those who don’t know, Weebird would chitter at me over the phone sometimes when Jim and I were bullshitting lol she was so silly—always had to offer her two cents!) and I’m sad that I didn’t get to meet her in person. Such a little personality she was!! She will always be with you, my friend, and I doubt she’ll give her opinion on any of our future convos she can get in on. ;)
*HUG*

Well, Rabbi, things happens. I feel you loss, but it's not yet possible to reverse time, so tormenting yourself with thoughts of "what could happen if..." won't help.
You didn't do it on propose. It's just a bad luck. I think your daughter will understand.
Of course nobody will forbid you from remembering her. Cultivating memory of passed ones is a good thing. But try to remember the live, not the death. She gave you the happiness, so make sure the memory of her makes you happy, not sad.
I know it all may sound stupid, but in my life I had three parrots who died one after another, and one of them literally in my hands :(. But I try not to remember their deaths. I can't go back in time, and even if I could, I wouldn't do anything to stop them from dying :(. As I said, things happens, and we have to live with that.
Arrange her a good funeral. Something that she deserves for. That's all you can do right now.

:( I am so sorry. Loosing pets is like loosing a child. I lost pets myself, it hurts so much. I had a cat who choked to death and I tried to save him, CPR did nothing.... it was late at night, no pet ER's were close by, he wouldn't have made it anyways even if there was... and he died in my arms. Hurt so much knowing I couldn't do anything. I didn't let him pass alone though... however he did try to hide and not let me see it. Hurt so much.
It was an accident. Wasn't your fault though.... it really wasn't. Do not blame yourself for it.
