Parakeet

[Mashley]

My parakeet died yesterday morning. When my mom uncovered his cage yesterday, he was hanging at the top of the cage, where he doesn't usually sleep. She stuck her hand in there and pet him. He has only let us pet him once, when he was brand new to our home. Anyways, he wasn't breathing good, so we took turns holding him all morning. He was too weak to even stand up, without toppling over head first. My dad was holding him, and he tried to start flying. He took a couple more wheezes and died. My dad looked like he was going to cry. He has only had one other pet die in his hands. So, we buried him in a cookie box with his favorite toys and the washcloth that he was wrapped in.

I am so very sorry to hear of you and your families loss. I just lost a parakeet a few months ago and it was harder than I thought it would be. It made me . Our little critters give us so much joy, that's why it is hard to lose them and when they're gone we miss them so.

I pray the Lord lifts you and your family and encourages you.

Awww... I know how that feels. A few years ago my girl Jocelyn died. I took her out of the cage when I noticed something was wrong / her, then she couldn't even stand and she dried to fly and landed on the floor. s soon as i picked her up she nuzzled into my hand and stopped brathing. it was the worst feeling in the world.

What kind of cage were you using? Your description sounds very familiar to what a deadly cage causes.
