Saying goodbye to someone we love is one of life’s greatest heartbreaks—whether it’s sudden or expected, the pain runs deep.
And it’s not just people who mourn. Our pets, especially those as intelligent and emotionally aware as parrots, feel that grief too.
Take Sinbad, for example—a parrot who spent 25 years with his owner, building an unbreakable bond. Known for his cheerful personality, Sinbad grew noticeably quiet as he sensed his beloved human’s declining health. It was a clear sign of how closely these remarkable birds connect with us.
Like humans, parrots can experience depression after loss. In fact, some even require special treatment, including avian antidepressants, to help them cope.
In one profoundly moving moment, captured by the woman’s daughter, Sinbad was brought to her bedside for a final goodbye. Perched gently on her stomach, he stayed close, quietly offering comfort in the only way he knew how. She, in turn, gave him one last reassuring touch—a final gesture of love.
If you can watch the video without tearing up, you’re stronger than most.
The bond between people and their pets often defies words. And moments like these remind us just how deep and powerful that connection can be. This farewell is one of the most touching we’ve seen—one that every pet lover will understand in their heart.
Please share this story with others who value the love of a loyal animal companion. We send our warmest thoughts to Sinbad and our heartfelt condolences to his owner. May she rest in peace.
