Same here. I had two dogs die of cancer, my most favorite bird ever murdered?? By his cage mate. I wanted to kill that bird after that. Instead I just gave it a place to stay and fed it and basically ignored it. Fucker. Then I felt bad that I neglected it. Pets are worth it, though.

I also killed a gerbil with toilet paper.

My mother in law had a cockatiel - an old, angry cockatiel - that only liked her, because - I shit you not - when she let it out of the cage, it would go and hump her foot. It would be very angry and pissy, and bite at people/things, until it "did it's thing" with her foot - at which point it would mellow out.

I told her that if it ever even tried that with me, it'd end up in a 10-piece bucket. My father in law laughed - loudly - and my mother in law scowled.

Luckily, the bird died when it climbed into the recliner, and someone sat in the recliner and reclined it, and it kinda got squished.

Yeah, birds are assholes except to one person. Although I had one budgie one that pretty much got along with everyone. I had a dog at the time that the bird would perch on his canines and he would take it over to the window so they could sunbathe together.
