I had a budgie when I was about 10 or 11... he flew out the window one morning and was missing for a week. I seen a notice on the local library about a budgie and went to collect him. I ran about a mile and a half home and had a gang of children all running with me the last few hundred yards. I was so exited and shouted to my Dad "I've got Charlie back". As soon as I got into the living room I let him out his cage so he could sit on my hand. When he got out he flew straight into the wall and his eyes closed just as I picked him up. Well all the sobbing, and I buried him in my favorite item. My first woolly hat I wore when I was a baby. I always thought it was so small and fascinating. I wrapped him up and tied the hat and put him in a cardboard wheetabix box in a 6inch deep hole. Can't remember much after that apart from being really depressed in a library with a friend a few days later and needing to go home. I remember having him on my hand and crying, he was all baldy and slimy and wet and cold, and dirty. I don't know how many times I dug him up but he vanished one day, box, hat also. I'm sure my Dad removed him. So I soon forgot about wee Charlie. That feeling of loss was crippling I thought. But I've never felt it so raw since and I've lost close family. Think I was just curious about heaven stories I'd heard. I'm sure I expected my hat to be full of fluffy feathers. Vanished!!

    I'm sure your parents knew you were digging your bird up and decided to get rid of the body so you would stop, It sounds to me like you were pretty young and you took the death of your little pal pretty hard, Ive lots a few pets in my life and i know how hard it can feel but you shouldnt dig them up cause you could get really sick its not healthy, Its not really normal to dig up your dead pet but considering you were so young and it sounds like it was probuly one of the first losses you suffered that an younger people especially are curious about death and want to learn more..... just dont do it anymore lol
