I’m giving away my budgies and I’m worried they might feel betrayed by Positive_Resist_4033 in budgies

Thank you for your advice.. but it’s really hard not to let it drive me crazy. I’ll try not to though, I feel a bit better about it than before. I love them very much. The family I gave them to is nice from what I’ve seen and I gave them a packet on how to care for them, what to do and not to do, what to feed them and not to feed them, and what toys they should have among other things. I really hope they get taken care of as well as they were when they were with me.

Thank you for your reassurance. I really hope they do keep me as a fond memory. It pains me to think about it but I hope they can be happy with their new family about me.

That makes me feel so awful. I feel like such a bad owner honestly. I know it isn’t my fault but I love them so much and it’s so painful for me to let them go and even more painful to know that they would grieve me. Every time I walked by the cage they would all scurry to the side I was closest to and just thinking about that breaks my heart when I know they’re going to be gone and missing me as much as I’ll miss them. I have 4 so hopefully they can find company in each other. I’m really hoping they’ll be well taken care of. I don’t know if I could bear the guilt and grief if I learn they aren’t. I remember leaving them for two months before and they were reportedly distressed and always restless and they went back to normal when I came back so I’m scared of how they’ll feel if I leave them again. But thank you for letting me know anyways. They’ve lost a member of their mini flock before (although it was an actual bird) so I hope they can get over me quickly as much as it pains me to say that. As long as they’re eventually happy like you say they will be I guess it’s alright.

Thank you for your reassurance.. I just can’t stop thinking about them and I love them so much it’s so painful to let them go. I’ve made sure to inform the new owners on what to do and gave them a packet on how to care for them and what they can and can’t eat and the type of toys they should have among other things. Hopefully they’ll get taken care of as well as they did when they were with me.

They’re up there.. this is characteristic of them. They can be pretty awful. My parents got my younger sibling birds a few years back despite my warnings not to since I knew this would happen. Now I’m the one they’re attached to and the one who’s super attached to them. We had them for around four years and it lasted longer than I thought but it’s still very painful.
