I have...had 3 cockatiels. If no one knows, they're medium sized birds renowned for their companionship. Anyway, I recently lost my two males at the same time. Diego and jackson were their names...
I'm just so sad when ever I think about them... I can barely look at my remaining one with out thinking of them. I go through my day, doing the things I did with them and I just wanna cry... I miss them so much...sob... they were young only about 4 or 5. I'm 18, thinking of moving out and I was making preparations to take them with me. My friends I've told havent had any sympathy for me...they just say ok and move on. Like Diego and jackson were just gold fish or something. So I finally came here, hoping to have someone respond and make me feel a little better.
This is the first time I've lost a pet in my care and I just feel like it's my fault...it probably is. How I disciplined my birds for being loud or nasty was put them in our spare bed room in a separate cage in like time out until they are quiet. I had just fed them when I put them in there and it was kinda cold cause it's winter here and I covered the cage for over night with blankets so they wouldn't be cold. I left them there two days, and I could here them screaming and screeching so I figured they were ok...I didn't check on them and I SHOULD have. I've done this a 100 times in the past with no incident. Then, on Friday I went in to get them since they were quiet and they were both huddled together at the bottom of the cage dead... it's my fault...it's all my fault...I should a checked on them...maybe the room got too cold I don't know...but I just keep blaming my self and rightly so...I just want my boys back...sob...I wish on a thousand stars for a do over...A chance to snuggle with them or hear them sing again...I just want them back...
