Ok, so I'm in some MASSIVE trouble...
So yesterday I went to look after my neighbours parrot, and I don't get along with birds. They are out for a few days, and they said I could stay in their house...because this parrot is a rare breed and their prized possession. This is when I hit the problem. A fed it a bit of a fugecicle, and its beak got stuck together. I tried to pry it open, but the beak began to make this weird noise so I left it. After a while, I sprayed the parrot with water from a hose - to stop it sticking. But this only sent the parrot flying backwards - and it swatted against the cage. I picked it up, it was unconcious. After coming back from the vet, I put it back in its cage, and went to bed.
The next morning I woke up, went down stairs.. and it was... well... dead. I thought it was sleeping, but after a while of complete stillness I took it to the vet. He said it died from its heart exploding. I thought back to the traumatising events of yesterday and slapped myself on the head.
My neighbours are coming back next in a few days - so should I tell them I killed their 'child' - (she calls it that mainly because of her infertitlity) - or buy a new one and pretend I knew nothing about it. Or maybe buy another one, pretend I'm a parrot genius, and said 'it shed its feathers'.
I need help or I'm gonna get in alot of trouble. :(

Just tell them that you woke up in the morning and it was dead. Make sure you cry.
-
First, explain to your parents what happened so that they can back you up. Next you tell the neighbors the bad news and offer to compensate for it. Now ( you may not need help with this) you make sure you're crying when you do this because of how crappy you really do feel about it. Be sure to let them know that you tried to help it and everything else. The truth'll probably hurt, but a lie can hurt a hell of a lot worse.

Or you leave it in its cage and leave the house. You will hear screams shortly afterwards[/quote] Wouldn't they wonder why it's beak is stuck together with a fudgecicle?

OK so you need to be very very honest with make sure you put the bird in something so they dont see the thing then tell about what happened and that it was an accident they should understand if not offer to buy a new one

Tell them up front in a nice way. Then apologize and offer some way of repentence. Later right them a letter of apology, and state what you would like to do to compensate. This compensation could range from paying them, buying them a new pet, or offering a favor. If they refuse, press even harder.
-
It was only 2 years old :(
-
buy a new parrot before they come back. replace it. Or say it died of a desiese or old age.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] XxBakedLeafxX [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] nubyw00tz It's heart exploded? Wow, that certainly is odd.[/quote] Yea the OP is making stuff up Its heart wouldn't EXPLODE because it ate a fudgesicle.[/quote] it might have because if the beak was glued shut, then there wouldn't be oxygen getting to his lungs, the blood would'nt have oxygen for the heart, and it would go crazy....or something....i dont know! you try to figure it out >.<
-
Hehe I'll probably end up moving houses.
-
I think that you should choose the honest path. Tell them that its heart exploded, and offer to buy them a new one. then apologize, and try to leave as quickly as possible...>.>
-
That wasn't very smart. >='(
-
stories like this about people doing stupid stuff getting in trouble makes me feel better cause i'm usually the one telling the stories. but not this time. so thank you OP
-
Your a dumbass, I have a parrot too. I can tell you from what I observed that parrots beaks do not handle sticky things well. Why would you even do that?
-
Back from the shower. Yeah, some people aren't believing this (understandable I know)...but it really did happen. I will look back at this and laugh.. but for now I'm pooing it!
-
Dude, OP, you're screwed man

confess, they will only be madder if they find out you lied
-
Ok this what u do, u eat the bird and tell them they eat it and if they object stab them with a bayonet.
-
Why does everyone say it's heart couldn't explode? Go look it up guys. It can. And as for your problem, I'd just accept it. Reality is you'll be punished less then if you lied, and, well. Do these people really matter to you? [Edited on 03.17.2008 11:56 AM PDT]
