Saying goodbye to a beloved companion is never easy—whether we’re ready for it or not, the pain still cuts deep.
And grief isn’t something exclusive to humans. Animals, too, can feel sorrow in powerful and profound ways.
Take parrots, for example. These incredibly sensitive and intuitive creatures are known to form deep emotional bonds—and when they lose someone they love, they grieve just like we do.
One such parrot, named Sinbad, shared a special connection with his owner for 25 beautiful years. Their bond was strong, full of love and familiarity.
Normally cheerful and full of life, Sinbad’s behavior changed when his beloved owner became seriously ill. He grew quiet, almost as if he knew something was terribly wrong. His silence spoke volumes about the empathy animals have for their humans.
Like people, parrots can suffer from depression when they lose someone close. In fact, some even require antidepressants to cope with their loss.
In a deeply emotional moment captured on camera by the woman’s daughter, Sinbad is brought in to see his owner one final time. As she lies on her deathbed, Sinbad climbs onto her and gently rests on her stomach.
In that quiet, heartbreaking moment, he seems to say everything with his presence. His love, his sorrow, and his desire to stay close—it’s all there. And she responds with her own words of affection, making it clear how much he meant to her too.
If you can watch this video without shedding a tear, you’re stronger than most. This is one of the most moving moments of love and loss ever shared.
Our pets often feel like family, and this beautiful farewell is a reminder of just how deep that bond can go.
Share this with someone who’s loved and lost a pet—they’ll understand. We’re sending our warmest thoughts to Sinbad and hope that his days ahead are filled with comfort and care. May his beloved owner rest in peace. 🕊️💔
