Missing MY Coco [Archive] - Talk Budgies Forums

My little girl Coco was three years old. I had her out in the backyard (in her cage) soaking up the morning air, the beautiful flowers and the sounds of other birds in the neighboring area. She was so happy. I brought her in from the backyard, opened her cage and started lunch for us. I has come back into the living room area (for something), and she had attached herself to the back of my blouse. (inside) I could not see her neither could I feel her there. I looked around to make sure she wasn't on the chair or anywhere on myself. At that moment I sat down, (no, not on her), but I have an obuse pillow on my chair, and I backed up into it:( I couldn't understand why I couldn't see her or hear her. When I got up out of my chair and came back...there she was, laying on the chair lifeless!!! Apparently when I backed up into the obuse pillow...it snapped her neck. It pains me to even think about it now. (this happened in August this year)
I cried and cried and I remember asking her to forgive me as she had to know how much I loved her. I'm still having a hard time forgiving myself, I just start to cry whenever I think about it. I wish I had her back so bad. I have a 2month old named Willy now and I love him with all my heart...but new little buddies still cannot take the place of the ones you've had before because they all have their own little personalities and traits that just belong to them alone.

Still grieving...................Susie:budgie:

That's a very sad story. I'm very sorry about your loss. It wasn't your fault and you shouldn't be telling yourself it was. It was a common accedent that then became a sad ending. I am very sorry. I know how it feels to have a pet die painfully, and I feel your pain.

My guinea pig died in my arms and I couldn't help her because I was home alone and couldn't bring her to a vet.

Very sorry to hear that story....

That is incredibly sad. I can understand why you blame yourself, but remember you did look around for her. It was an accident.

Thank you for your warm compassion. Some people that have never owned a bird cannot understand the pain we feel for these tiny angels. They say things like "it was just a bird"! I knew this Forum was the right place for me to be. God Bless you and your little angels.:budgie:

I am sorry to hear about your Coco. That is a very sad story. It must have been heart breaking. I don't know what I would have done.

I'm soooooo sorry about the loss of your Coco. :( It truly was an accident and you must remember that accidents aren't planned but "JUST HAPPEN." (That's why they are called accidents.) You did the best you could and there are just some things that can't be avoided. We all have accidents. They happen when we least expect them to happen. Your accident was just a "Freak" thing - and there is not a thing that you could have done to avoid it.

You loved Coco and Coco loved you. You even loved Coco so much that you took him outside to enjoy the beautiful day. His last moments were spent with joy.

Parents have been known to accidentally back over their child with a car and kill them, and I had a friend that accidentally backed over her toddler with a riding lawn mower and cut his arm off. There is no way that a person can avoid the terrible feelings of agony and despair after an accident like that, and you are no exception. Some things just can't be explained and we have to understand that we can't be in control of everything. It's okay to hurt, (and you have to - to heal) but please don't carry the guilt around with you and keep blaming yourself. There is no way you could have known Coco was there and you did try to find him.

Hang in there. There are many who care and support you.

Oh my gosh! I am so sorry to hear about this! I couldn't imagine what that must have felt like for you. I know you did not intend for this to happen, so please don't blame yourself for this very unfortunate accident.

I'm very sorry to hear that, its so sad :(
But you must remember that Coco must have had a great life with you, as you seem a great owner to her.
Try not to blame your self, it wasn't your fault,

Very sorry again :(

I'm so happy to hear that you are comforted by our wonderful group of compassionate people here on the forum. Sometimes it is not easy to find people who understand the impact that these little feathered friends have on our lives. I'm sure you've heard the "oh well, it was just a bird" phrase.

We're very pleased to have you here! I hope you stick around! ;)

Thank you for your kind words Budgiekin, it means a lot...and yes I have heard that line "it's just a bird" and it sickens me:( They are just as much a part of the family as a dog or cat and are loved just as much. Yes, I'm sticking around as you feather lovers are what make my day sunny, even when it's cloudy.

Here for you too and everyone else. xx:budgie: xx :)
