Rehomed my Connure, now he's dead...?
I'm devastated. We bought a green cheek connure three years ago. Things were going well and he was an important part of our family. Then, we had a baby. Because the baby and Mr. Pickles didn't get along in the same space, we had to put him in his cage for increasing amounts of time each day. It was taking a toll on him, and I decided it would be best to find him a home with someone who knew about birds, didn't have young children, and could take excellent care of him.
After three months of searching for the right person, I thought I'd found her. She already has a quaker parrot, her kids are all over 10 years old, and she loves birds. She took him home last weekend, and everything was going well. Then, she decided to let him outside without a leash, outside of a cage. Long story short, he's gone. The idiot didn't even try putting his cage outside with food in it to see if he would come back down. After being outside for three days, a gusty wind blew him away. She only told me a few hours ago.
I can't forgive myself. :-(

You can't blame yourself for this. Stuff like this just happens sometimes. What's more important you kid or your bird? It's all the lady's fault so don't worry about it. I just feel bad for the quaker that has to live with her still!

It's always hard to loose a loved pet. Ive spent thousands of dollars on past birds I had only to see them die a couple days later.
You can search for the right person for years and not know what their like behind closed doors.
Don't blame your self for Mr Pickles death. You did every thing you could to give your bird the best life possible.
Now it's time to remember the good times you had together and move on. It's hard ,but it's the only thing you can do.
P.S. sorry for your lose
Sincerely a bird lover

Stop beating yourself up. You did the best you could. It wasn't your fault but as you said the idiot that took him. Forgive yourself and get on with it.
