A sad fact of life is that everything and everyone eventually dies. We all know that things die. But that doesn’t make it any easier when the time comes. Do animals understand death? I don’t know. I know animals grieve and experience loss in the same way that people do. I had a male cat who mourned the loss of his adoptive momma cat for a long time.
Animals probably understand death better than humans – who knows. In this video, a heartbroken bird is having a hard time with the loss of her friend. The bird’s owners are preparing the dead bird for burial. The little yellow bird is there and nudges her friend’s body wishing he would just get back up again.
Take a look at this video
It is hard to watch. You just want to give the yellow bird a hug and tell her it will be okay. Share away, people.
