Aww, koolaid, what a cute name <3
I know what it feels like to loose a pet you love. I while ago, one of two of my family's parakeets passed away. Her name was blueberry, and the one we still have is Bubbles. We got her a really long time ago when she was just a baby, I think. She was actually given to my older brother by his teacher when hr was little. It was so long ago, and I was so little, that I don't remember anything about how Blueberry acted towards us. All I know is that when I was older, she sort of became my responsibility....sort of.
I tried to take good care of her. I filled up her feeder when it was empty and gave her water when she was out. We gave her fruit, too. She had several hanging toys in her cage to keep her entertained, and a nice roomy cage. The only problem was...that I didn't get her out enough. I tried to get her out each day, but she would bite. I knew it was because she wasn't used to me, but it still made me not want to get her out. She started pulling out her feathers because she was stressed. So, basically, she just never got out.
When she passed away, I cried, and I cried a lot. I may have never gotten her out enough, but I still loved her. At first I thought maybe it was my fault for not giving hr the love she needed, but it as more because she lived her full lifespan. Birds just aren't for my family, and I honestly they weren't made to be kept in captivity. We said our goodbyes and buried her under a tree next two where we buried a hamster we had a really long, long time ago. I still miss her a lot, and I think I always will. I don't grieve about Blueberry, but I still think about once in a while.
Pets my not stay forever, but they each have their own special place in our hearts.
R.I.P Kooliad, I bet you were a sweet cat. <3 <3
