Parakeets are social birds and do best when they have a companion to chat with, eat with, cuddle and play with. If one of the pair passes away, the other will most certainly miss their friend.
In this video, a little yellow parakeet has a heartbreaking reaction to her friend’s death. The owner is preparing to bury the deceased bird, when the grieving parakeet nudges her friend, trying to wake him up. The bird then rushes to his friend’s defence, trying to keep the person from taking him away.
It certainly shows that animals feel sadness and grieve much like humans do. Share this video if you believe animals have feelings like us.
