sat here sobbing charlies dead. my husband was working in the kitchen putting shelves up charlie was on top of his cage,husband hit his thumb swore very loud charlie screemed and jumped off his cage husband jumped and fell off chair right on top of charlie,its been a awfull weekend we carnt even look at each other.this is the hardest thing ive ever had to do ,didnt cry this much when my mum died. so if im not around for a while its just that carnt talk or face it at moment sorry.

 

charlie was an african grey & i know his owner is distraught.I thought that something positive should come from Charlies tragic death & that is if any DIY, repairs etc.. have to be done to your homes, please make sure you bird is out of harms way or returned to their cage.

That is very sad.

 

It is also wise advice to heed.

 

Thanks for sharing this!

omg, this is so awful! I do hope this horrible accident helps others safeguard their loved ones.

We often accept our critters as regular family members and forget the differences in our reactions and responses.

I am so sorry .... my thoughts are with you

[dblhelix]

Very sad. Hopefully we can all learn something from this tragedy. My thoughts are with those grieving.

[judygram]

Yes I think we all will learn from this story, sometimes it takes something like this to make us all aware of the dangers even in the home for our birds. My heart goes out for them and I will keep them in my prayers. So very sad and tragic.

I saw this earlier today and have been thinking about it all day. It is so sad!! I can't imagine what the owners must be going through. Is the username Charlie666? If it is, I'd just like to send them a little note, that's all. It is so very sad. It brings tears to my eyes.

[Guest Lidia]

That is heartbreaking, I am so sorry to hear of Charlie's death. It's just awful. Accidents do happen, though, and I hope such a thing never happens to any of us.

[Toni]

awww sorry to hear about Charlie. My thoughts are with the owner, you and your husband.I've been going around the house checking things and bird proofing before mine arrives. Jotting this on the note too.Place bird some where else when fixing house.

[Talon]

What a horrible tragedy. One that I will never forget. Please give my condolences to them. My heart breaks for them.....

HeatherStrella this accident happened in the UK on a forum there,The lady this happened to is called Mandy & she uses just Mandy also for her username.

 

I can't imagine how this poor girl is feeling & hope none of us are ever faced with a situation like this.

I hope by me posting this tragic story we all could learn from it.

[HeatherStrella]

Oh so she doesn't post here?

[lovemyGreys]

As far as i know she is not a member here, i presume if she was she would have posted this story herself.

Wow. I've experienced fatal accidents with a couple of parakeets and it made me wish I could turn the clock back 15 minutes. It also made me think, "If only 'this' and 'this' and 'this' didn't happen..." Please forgive your husband, as difficult as it would be. He didn't mean to do it, and his heart is probably aching for what your going through. If he could have foreseen the accident, he would have taken the bird out of harm's way before working on the shelves.

I certainly don't need to tell you all this.

 

I'm very sorry you all had to go through this...you, your husband and his owners. My heart is aching for you and I'm crying. Time will soothe the pain.

but isn't it a coincidence? i mean how much chance is there someone falls exacty on a bird?

 

all with all, very, very sad

[lovemyGreys]

Richardsmommy it never happened to me personally, it was a post from a UK forum which i am a member.I posted as a warning for all of us to take care when caring out DIY etc..

 

FairY i know what you are saying, the odds must be a million to one,but a tragic accident that happened.I'm so fortunate that my greys have their own room in my house,which lessens some of the danger.

This is soooooo sad. My bird is only 3 months old and it would so bad if somethings happened to him. OMG those poor people. People care very much for their pets, and they become so much of family. Sory for their loss.
