@the_green_bird_brigade: Yesterday was a hard day. While away over The weekend, I was notified of a budgie that had been brought into our local animal shelter in pretty bad shape. Unfortunately, the shelter has little to no resources for birds. I decided to pick the little guy up and see if I could save him. Despite an immediate visit to our avian vet, there wasn’t much that could be done. He was severely underweight and most likely suffering from one, if not multiple, internal issues/illnesses. He was too weak and frail to run any tests, so I made the decision to bring him home and provide supportive care. It became clear very quickly that he wasn’t going to make it, so I did my best to make him feel comfortable and safe until he passed. I only knew him for a few hours, but my heart is broken 💔 #budgie #rescue #bird

I have budgies. I love them to bits. Thank you for this. The sunshine was a beautiful idea. No creature should die alone.

He chose to let go because he felt safe. His last moments were warm and full of love. It’s always incredibly hard but that’s better than being alone in a shelter or wherever he’d been prior to being brought in. He trusted you enough to let go.

Thank you for giving him love and kindness in his final moments. I'm sure he appreciated the sun on his face.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I also love your choice of microphone. I've seen little fluffy ones before, but never a cute feathered one.

I tried to save a mourning dove who was attacked by a dog in the park. She was in so much distress I just tried to make her comfortable in a warm dark environment and not stress her out with my presence. When I checked on her she’d passed, and I wish I’d been holding her.

He was not alone or scared. That means the world to any living being. I’m so sorry for your loss; I’m sure you’re devestated. Thank you for all you do.
