My ringneck was murdered
I came home today to the most heartbreaking discovery, one which has left me feeling so horribly sad, angry and completely lost.
My male ringneck was decapitated and eaten by a water rat right in front of his 'girlfriend' last night whilst I was away.
I can't begin to imagine how horrible his last moments alive would have been like, not to mention the trauma his partner was forced to witness.
I have 5 other birds that I am now terrified I may loose in a similar way if I can't stop the culprit immediately.
I myself am shaken to the core by what I found on my arrival home today and the guilt i am feeling is eating at my soul.
I feel sick just thinking about the horrible way he lost his life, I failed my poor bird not being home to save him, not being there to save his partner the trauma of seeing him suffer in that manner and just the fact that I lost my beautiful bird that way is messing with my heart and my head.
I can't stop crying, I can't sleep, I am checking on my remaining birds every 5 minutes and I am consumed by sadness.
I dont know what to do, I don't ever want to loose another one of my birds in that way but I can't stay awake forever.
Any helpful advice would be appreciated.
