All of my hamsters have died, as you would expect, and small pets like that are very good in preparing you for a major death later.
Last year my dad's parrot died. He's been with us longer than I have, and despite the fact that the bird (Charlie) hated me and my brother for "replacing" him as the baby, I was incredibly upset when he suddenly died for no apparent reason. Please do not bring up bird flu over this matter.
It is interesting that a thread like this should come up now. I have a strong suspicion that one of my family members will be gone soon, though everyone seems to be avoiding the issue with my generation in the family.
