My parrot died yesterday..what should I do with his dead body?

Question

I had my beautiful parrot for 10 long years since I was 9. I went with my mom to visit my grandma since my mom had promised that we would be back in 2 days. And she ended up staying 3 days which fed me up because I kept insisting that I wanted to leave.Meanwhile ,My dad took care of it and fed it. When he left to work he left it on his cage that morning. That same morning 2 hours later me and my mom arrived to see that he was attacked by one of the dogs..I am really sad that he died I loved him !!.I want to die..! If my mom would done as she promised of coming home in 2 days instead of 3 then I would of prevented his death...He was my best friend since childhood. I regret not taking him with me..or the times I was a little mean.I also think"what if I did this...it wouldn't of happened Although I must admit he was a happy bird. I might of not took him wit me when I left the house for 2 days a week but I took really good care of him the days I spent with him. Now I don't know what to do with his dead body, should I burry him or freeze preserve his body so I keep him with me? I think burrying him will be sad to let go, but keeping him with me preserved will also make me sad just looking at him dead.What should I do?

Answer 1

bury it or through it away

Answer 2

you could bury him and mark it with like a little head stone if you were really attached or if you don't want to see his grave as a reminder you can take him to a local human society or animal shelter and they will despose of his body so you don't have to if its too painful,  

Answer 3

First of all it is not your fault. These things happen and we cannot control everything. you did your best. You gave him the best home for years. I know it is easy to regret and to make yourself feel guilty over every little thing as I have done it many times. Animals know that we are only human and make mistakes. They love us no matter what. I am sad he died in such a nasty way for you and him. But he is at the Rainbow Bridge now waiting for the time you to will see each other again. I am a firm beleiver in that. I dont know if you have ever read the poem about the Rainbow bridge but if you have not punch it on the web and read. It will make you cry but at the same time make you feal peace. If it were me I would have him cremated and keep his urn with me. Put in favorite place in house. Or near your bed. Urns are very pretty. You can even have name put on it. Then if and when you want to bury it is up to you. Again so sorry for your loss. your parrot knew he was loved dear. :)  

Answer 4

why dont you cremate him ?

hope this helps x

Answer 5

Yet again

It's up to you

Sorry

Answer 6

first of all, you're going to get jerks reponding to this..and I want to apologize for that.

secondly, I am so sorry for your loss honey...losing a pet is never easy and especially in such a violent way.  Please do not blame yourself...it only makes it worse.  Your bird knew that you loved him/her.  

My girlfriend bought me a hamster when we first started dating...Mia, my hamster...meant the world to me and it crushed me when she died.  I didn't want to burry her because I live in an apartment and I wouldn't want to move and leave her body... so I had her cremated.  It cost 70 bux, but you know what..that was my baby and I wanted her to always be with me.

As for you..depending on where you live...you can burry your friend if you'd like.  Make him a nice coffin out of a wodden box (you can find them at any craft store)... put your bird in a bag and make sure it's sealed...put duct tape around him...seal the box shut with sealant or strong glue.  And put your wonderful pet to rest.

Answer 7

Yesterday, sadly on 8-8-08 my beautiful parakeet, Kiwi died. So later that day my family and I buried him in a box or you could wrap him in a paper towel which is what we did with my other bird Sunny, said nice words about him, and we will put a made grave stone above him and decorating it with flowers and the things he liked and loved most.

I love them so much!!!!

May they R.I.P.  

Answer 8

Throw it in the garbage. What was the bird doing in a spot that the dog could kill it. I thought you said you loved your bird, yet you leave it alone two days a week? You surmise that since you take such good care of it when you are around that, that will carry over for the days you are not there? The best thing for you to do is not put another bird in position to be murdered by the dog or what ever. If you loved it so much you would have placed it some place that a stupid dog couldn't get to it. Especially if you are leaving it alone with the dog. I guess you told the dog not to bother it?  People like you don't deserve a pet. How would you like for someone to give you two days of water and food and put you in a closet till they get back............maybe in two or three days?
