Thank you for your kind words everyone.

Is there anything I could do for her as a I'm sorry gesture? I just don't want to say "Sorry" and that be it, but I don't know what else to do
Now I'm even sadder. Poor baby. *sniff*

I really don't know what you can do. I mean, if I were in her place, I know that nothing, absolutely nothing would be comforting to me. I agree on the card, and maybe visit her, give her some hugs, and cry with her. I'm really so sorry that you're in such a situation right now. She must be really devastated, but she seems to be very patient and considerate from her reaction. I would not have been like that. I really don't know what I would've done if I were in her place.

I know you must be feeling horrible and guilty right now, so here's a big {{{hug}}} to make you feel better.

Accidents happen, and when they happen, there's nothing you can do about it. It was just so very unfortunately, meant to be. As for getting her another bird...........a friend of mine lost her 6 year old cockatiel, a few years ago when they had guests over, and one of the 3 year olds decided to put a pillow on the poor bird and sit on it! Of course the little one died immediately. She was so hurt, angry, and upset and still is. She hasn't forgiven the girl or her family. Her father got her another bird after a year, thinking she may accept it then, but no....she made him return it. I don't think you should offer another bird yet, even though I know that you do it with the best of intentions, it may be hurtful for her, you know, because no other bird can replace the sweet soul that she lost. Again, I'm so very sorry to hear this. So so sorry. I really don't know what I can say that would be of any comfort, other than its very unfortunate that this terrible accident was bound to happen.
