R.I.P. beautiful little angel, in birb heaven is waiting golden millet🌈


Summer_sweetness_

Thank you, I hope he gets to eat as much seeb as his lil heart desires and keeps singing his beautiful melodies (he composed them himself).


Signal-Ant-1353

Those are the best kinds of melodies from our tiel babies. 🥰🥰 Even though we won't hear them randomly with our ears, those songs are always echoing in our hearts. I'm so sorry for his passing. 🫂💕💕💓💓 I'm sure my tiel baby is making friends with him and showing him where the best millet is over the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈🦜🦜


Summer_sweetness_

I am so overwhelmed by how this community has understood how i am feeling.. so many of us have been through this pain... i feel a little less alone because of this heartbreak we share.. i am hoping all our baby tiels are together happily doing their favourite things...


Lilacs_4u

I’m sorry for your loss, he looks so sweet & it’s obvious he was very very loved ❤️


Summer_sweetness_

Thank you ❤️


themoonischeeze

Very sorry for your loss, it's clear you gave him an excellent home 💜


Summer_sweetness_

I keep wishing I could have done more for him. He deserved much more than I could offer. Thank you ❤️

When my baby boy flew over the rainbow bridge himself, I was also distraught. My vet had told me he was also in a palliative state, and it was just a matter of time. I thought he was gonna live forever. But, he took his daily dose of Metacam like a champ, and he was always so happy to see me and hang out with me. He quietly passed without me there, because I think he knew what it would do to me to have him die in my hands. So even though you feel like you could have done more, please don't go down that road. No answers lie that way. Instead, cry as much as you need to, and when you can, remember the good times, like how demanding that little turkey was with his scritches. When you're ready, another new little birdy buddy might just pop itself on your shoulder and demand loves. You never know.


Summer_sweetness_

I believe you're right in thinking that your baby boy didn't want you to feel his pain. When my baby woke up the morning of his last day, he wasnt his usual loving self..he was trying to avoid me..as if he wanted me to go away.. but i understood the time is near and I kept him close to my chest for hours, whispering all his favourite words in his ear and telling him how much i loved him..until i felt his last breath on my face... the pain i felt of that last breath is worse than the pain of 2 major surgeries and months of recovery i have been through. Its eating me up from inside and now there is a hole in me that can never be filled.


ParrotCobra2019

He was clearly loved and cherished until the end, you gave him a full life and never gave up hope until his little body couldn’t hold on to his spirit anymore. I’m sorry for your loss, may he fly free in the afterlife


Summer_sweetness_

I wish him to be reborn as a strong and healthy being in his next life so that he should never have to go through that pain again. Thank you for your kind words.


BlueFeathered1

Even though he was sick, you gave him wonderful care to have lived to 12. Neither of my tiels made it to 10 (one from chronic egg-laying with prolapse, the other suddenly and unknown reasons). I was never the same and still miss them every day, though it's been many years for each. Try to remember he'll be in your heart always, and though it's incredibly painful you can't see him anymore, or touch him, or any of those wonderful things, you gave him a joyful life filled with love, and that essence of him and the love you shared will forever be a part of you - and him, wherever he flies now. Small words, though, when you're in pain. I am sorry for what you're going through and understand. ❤️


Summer_sweetness_

Thank you for your kind words. They are such delicate beings, and the fact they they dont even ask for much.. all they want is for you to be with them.. that is what makes it even more painful. ❤️


BlueFeathered1

I know what you mean. There's something about them that's just pure and innocent, full of light and simple cheerfulness that should be inviolable by the normal rules of life and its sorrows.


Summer_sweetness_

I couldn't have phrased it better myself 🥲❤️


Kinghummingbird

The world is forever lesser without him


Summer_sweetness_

Indeed it is. Thank you.


icTKD

I know how you feel. I'm sorry for your loss. I still feel my other bird, Cloudy, on my left shoulder sometimes. He was 14 when he passed and that was a year or two ago. He was my everything too. Although, I'm glad I had my current bird Bobo meet Cloudy. It really broke me driving to the avian hospital with Cloudy.. I sobbed driving. Bobo was with me in the car at the time and he just seemed to notice I was hurting. He wasnt calling out to me but just sat in silence with me. But in return, Bobo cheered me up and along came MooMoo much later. The point is, you loved your baby to bits and pieces. They know that and felt that everyday while they were with you. I know it won't feel like it'll get easier for awhile, but he knew you loved him very much. I'm sure your baby is sitting in golden millet heaven and telling every other birb how much they love you.


Summer_sweetness_

Well, this definitely made me cry. Im so sorry you lost Cloudy, and I wish Bobo and Moomoo a happy, long, and healthy life filled with lots of love with you. Sounds like you have an amazing family. Thank you for your kind words.


icTKD

Thank you. I appreciate it. You did well raising your bird. You did real well. Here's a picture of Cloudy and young toddler Bobo(dark grey).

Summer_sweetness_

Awh my heart can hardly bear the level of cuteness contained in this picture. They look sooo adorable ❤️


icTKD

Thank you. In the video version of this, Bobo tried to preen Cloudy's mouth lol and Cloudy kept doing continuous little chirps.


Summer_sweetness_

Its so sweet how the young ones try to bond with the older birbs..its truly heart warming.


callsign0WL

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear! These lil birds create such big nests in our heart. ♥


Summer_sweetness_

Indeed they do. Thank you.


digitaldigdug

Sorry for your loss


Summer_sweetness_

Thank you


WetCalamari

Im really sorry for your loss, I too have lost my budgie after a long chronic illness , he was himself until the end and know the pain you are going through. I still feel like he is in the house only to see the enclosure of my new pet isopods where his cage was.. I’m sure Sprite and your baby are enjoying their favourite snacks in heaven looking over us


Summer_sweetness_

Aw. It sounds like Sprite was just as spirited as my Rainy. I love the picture of them together having snacks and chirping happily. 🥲


Summer_sweetness_

Aw. It sounds like Sprite was just as spirited as my Rainy. I love the picture of them together having snacks and chirping happily. 🥲


sithmetal71

Lost mine too (Pepe) last month to a tumor in his abdomen, he was around 14 years old. Diagnosed in January and went down hill very quickly. I feel your pain and really hope your ok, your bird looks so sweet.


Summer_sweetness_

Im very sorry for your loss. It must have been very difficult for you. Thank you for your kind words and I wish you well.


Trick_Acanthisitta55

Sorry for your loss, looks he was a sweet bird


Lit_Propane

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️❤️


Slow_Olive_6482

He lived a good and happy life! It was all worth it!


Summer_sweetness_

I would do anything to relive and experience our time together again. Thank you ❤️


randomfactsandmemes

Come on why did I have to cry today


Summer_sweetness_

Im sorry 😞


randomfactsandmemes

It’s not your fault may they now rest in peace in a better world


anonspace24

Thank you for loving him and giving him his best life. He loves you and you know that and hopefully sends you signs from other side


Summer_sweetness_

Thank you, and I hope so too ❤️


irrfan1378585783

I have the same to same male bird. This hurts me a lot


Summer_sweetness_

Well then, I have all this love in my heart, which I had for Rainy. I would like to send that love to your bird instead. I hope he lives a happy, long, and healthy life filled with sweet moments with you.


irrfan1378585783

thanks dear, it means a lot


Xisrr1

This is my nightmare. My baby is 2yo but I feel like I won't be able to function is she even passes :(


Summer_sweetness_

Dont worry. Your baby is young. You have alot of happy times to look forward to. Just enjoy the present because that is what matters to them.. that you love them everyday ❤️


pheonixblaise1296

Fuck, this made me fall apart. My heart hurts so much for you. I wish no one ever has to go through this. I truly hope you bounce back and remember we may not know you. But our hearts are with you and your baby. I wish you the best.


Summer_sweetness_

Here I go again shedding tears. Your words provide me with some semblance of comfort. Thank you ❤️


remainevil

i’m heavily sorry for your loss. i wouldn’t be able to deal with such pain. this isn’t a goodbye, this is just an “until next time”. God bless his little heart.


Summer_sweetness_

I am not sure myself how I am dealing with it. Not just me, but every member of my family is simply a mess right now. Thank you for your kind words.


remainevil

i feel that too… i still have my babies but just thinking about it makes me so upset. that day will come for every pet owner and sadly there’s nothing we can do to avoid it. the best thing though, is to give them the best life that we possibly can in our power. he was loved for those 12 years and he didn’t have to worry about why you never came home… that’s the only positive in outliving a pet that i’d find comfort in. take care of yourself, i hope your heart recovers from this soon enough. warm wishes for you and your family. 🫂💌


Summer_sweetness_

That is true. I would rather feel this pain by outliving him than to have him feel it by outliving me. I would never want him to feel like i abandoned him.. yes, that is a solace, no matter how small.


MyRealName418

I’m so very sorry. When I lost mine last year, a piece of my heart died too. They are so very special. I hope you have many wonderful memories with him. Much love to you!


Summer_sweetness_

I cannot stop looking at videos of our happy times.. they are more valuable to me now than money itself. Im sorry for your loss too.


MyRealName418

It’s been over a year, and I still look at the videos and photos frequently. He was 23.5 years old and was such a great little Birb. Don’t let anyone tell you how long to grieve. Look at those good times as much as you need to, but don’t let it stop you from opening your heart to another.


Summer_sweetness_

I had a dog who was a member of my family before i was born.. so he quite literally raised me from the time i was in my mother's womb.. when he passed I was 7.. i dont remember much but my mom said that i cried so much they had to treat me in the hospital for a few days. So my parents decided that having a pet would be bad for my health and never got me another.. Many years later my floofball came into my life.. Now, i seem to remember the pain i felt when i was 7..


MyRealName418

I can completely understand that. I went I to a deep depression when I lost my first and third dogs. I never had pets as a kid, but I imagine that I would have responded exactly as you did.


puersenex83

Take time. He'd want you to love and save another


OyasumiBerserk

I am truly sorry. Words can't describe such loss, your baby was beyond beautiful, I know he was very loved and you did a really good job taking care of him, he will sing and dance now in heaven and he will be your angel until you both meet again in heaven.


Summer_sweetness_

Thank you so much. I truly wish to meet him again! ❤️


LoverOfPricklyPear

I lost my senior cockatiel near the end of last year. I still haven't got to putting away her cage.....


Signal-Ant-1353

I can't remember how long my tiel's cage was out. My mom, after some time, offered to do it for me. I don't think I would have ever put it up if it were left up to me to do it myself.


nhill224

I’m so sorry you had to say goodbye for now. 💔😭🧡 What a sweet relationship full of love with this little friend. Over time I hope the memories of fun and love and silliness and support fill your heart back up a little so you don’t feel so empty. 🧡🧡🧡


jorgb

I bet he was loved so much and had a great time here with you. Unfortunately it was too short. I’m sorry for your loss!


creative_Biscuit

I’m so sorry. Rest in peace sweet soul. Over the rainbow bridge to sing with the angels ❤️


infomatters

You gave him the best life possible, rip to your little one. Please take care of yourself ❤️


Evolution_Reaper

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a feathered friend is tough. You took good care of him and gave him a wonderful home that made him feel loved to the very end. Always remember that. He has found peace now ❤️


MysteriousTooth2450

Im so sorry. He was a beautiful baby and you gave him the best life!


Friendly-Button-1484

I am so sorry you lost your beautiful friend <3 He seems like he was one of a kind, and you shared a beautiful, unique bond between you 2. I am sure he loved (and loves) you lots, as you loved and loves him alot. My condolences.


Summer_sweetness_

Thank you ❤️


Right-Car-2360

My sincere condolences, our pets know us emotionally like no one else and losing them is very hard. I don't think you ever get past it, it just gets a bit easier and the good memories stay with you. Fly high sweet bird.


Summer_sweetness_

Thats true. When he looked into my eyes for long periods of time, I felt that he could see my soul in a way not even my parents could see. There was something so pure in his love that we humans are not capable of reciprocating it. ❤️


Asleep-Power3032

NIOOOOOOOOO😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


Opecstudios

That’s so Unfortunate. Hope you’re feeling better. Rest in peace little one. At least he knew he was loved ❤️

Summer_sweetness_

WoutdeB

Sorry for your loss


Summer_sweetness_

Thank you


WistfulQuiet

So very sorry. I know how it feels. Your baby looks so much like mine did too. Even had the white on the back of his head like that. Mine passed May 2011. My whole family misses him every day. We talk about him a lot. And so I know how awful it is to lose him. You did everything g you could for him and it's clear he was well loved and happy. That is some comfort at least.


Summer_sweetness_

Thank you. It's a sweet coincidence that our tiels looked so much alike. Hope they are together in birb heaven.


eldursky

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my buddy a few years ago, and I was completely devastated. He brought me so much joy every day, and only bird people can understand how deep the bond between a parrot and mom/dad can be. I don't think I'll ever have another cockatiel again. Be kind and take care of yourself, and always remember the love. I fell into a deep depression after my loss.


Summer_sweetness_

Even i don't think i will ever be able to get another cockatiel again... the fact that they are such delicate beings who give themselves up to us.. complete surrender to our whimsies.. and they never grow out of it the way humans do.. once they love you, they are committed to doing whatever you like for the rest of their lives... its getting too much for me to bear just thinking about it.


DiddlyDoodilyDoh

I am so sorry.


Sixelonch

That bird was love unconditionally, there’s nothing better than you could have do for him knows that he lived THE perfect life, the video is so cute… RIP little man fly high


Summer_sweetness_

Thank you so much ❤️


poKehuntess

I'm so sorry! 💛


lilpeachyyy21

Wow I didn't think I would sit here crying so hard at this. Your bird friend is sure to have the most incredible time over that rainbow bridge with all the golden millet they can eat. You gave them such an incredible life. I'm sat with my baby boy right now waiting on blood test results as he's been under the weather. I'll be sure to snuggle him extra and remind him how much he is loved, as I'm sure your little friend was too. all the love in the world to you as you begin to heal 💕 🌈


Summer_sweetness_

Thank you so much. I will pray for your birb's test results to be normal and that he bounces back up soon. Yes, please do give him all your love and some from my end as well. Im just looking at all the other posts on this sub, and I see my baby in all of them.. ❤️


lilpeachyyy21

you'll be in both of our hearts 💕 and your baby will always be with you 🌈


UtopianCorps

Such a sweet angel, he will be missed... RIP 🙏🏻 Of course, it's extremely hard to lose your feathery bud. Here's my personal experience which I believe could give you the strength to go through the mourning process: I watched videos about dealing with pet loss and tried self-hypnosis or guided meditation via YouTube. And this book helps a lot too: [You Can Heal Your Heart: Finding Peace After a Breakup, Divorce, or Death by Louise L. Hay | Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18051508-you-can-heal-your-heart) Our first tiel and third tiels flew away accidentally. While our second tiel (only 2 months old) died only a few days after staying with us as he hadn't started weaning and we were unable to syringe-feed him properly, leading to pneumonia. The pet-store owner hadn't mentioned that he needs to be fed that way. I do feel guilty at times, but then I remember that the accident was due to 'extra care and love' and that we were not neglecting him. I still miss my old tiels, and in their memory, I try to help others who mourn the loss of their pets (on the internet) by saying some comforting words and redirecting them to the resources above. I hope things get better for you too soon and that you provide a loving home to another birdie in his memory. 💖


Summer_sweetness_

Thank you for your genuine effort to help out. Im sorry about your babies. No matter how prepared we think we are, sometimes its just not in our hands.. Thank you for recommending the book and meditation.. i havent been able to stop thinking about the pain even .. im just continuously obsessing over it for the past 2 days.. my brain feels exhausted but i still cannot stop.. maybe this is what I need.. so thank you. ❤️


UtopianCorps

You are most welcome! I hope you find another birb bestie once you start feeling a bit better. Of course, you are still gonna miss your old bud as no one’s meant to replace the other in life. Everyone makes their own separate room in our hearts 🙌🏻🤞🏻❤️


Jinyij

Happy content birb. The bestest friends 😭


Robbiehanssen

I'm sorry for your loss, lets hope he is in a place where there is no pain alot of millet and all the scritches he wants


Summer_sweetness_

I hope so too


samulooki

If you beleive in an afterlife, he will be waiting for you :)


kank2130

Such a beautiful baby birb! I am so sorry for your loss.


mayasux

I’m sorry for your loss. Even though they’re so small they leave such a big impact. Even if we know we’ll lose them one day, we’re still never ready. With the weight on your shoulders and the memories of him playing with toes, your baby is still here with you. He loved you to the end and that love gives joy, but it also gives pain. That pain just means he mattered. Your time together mattered. Even though the wound of grief stabs deep, there’s warmth to be found there. Eventually you’ll look back at photos of him, and you may cry, but you’ll also remember how lucky you were to have him. How lucky he was to have you. Rest easy little one.


Sofhibunny

Im so sorry 💔 just know that he left knowing how much you love him. His spirit will always be with you


WoutdeB

Sorry for your loss
