I’ve had a few traumatic experiences in my past and it hurt me big time to not open up and talk about my feelings. I became withdrawn for years and only recently started opening back up.

I feel hurt by this comment. I’m Lebanese, and I can assure you a large swath of the population is traumatized from this incident and from decades of mismanagement and corruption.
Everything about your comment reeks of privilege and luxury.
My cousin and uncle bought a parrot together a few years ago. They absolutely loved it. My uncle would go out to get the mail with the thing on his shoulders every day. Then, about 2 years ago, my cousin passed away unexpectedly, and my uncle was heartbroken for the loss of his 26 year old son. Fast forward a couple of weeks, my uncle still is in mourning, but gets the courage to get the mail and return to a normal life. The bird was on his shoulders as usual. Out of nowhere, a hawk lunges at him and snatches him up from his shoulders. It all happened within an instant. The entire neighborhood must have heard his wailing. I shudder just to think about this unfolding.
For anyone with such pets, please don't drop your guard down, especially if you love your pet like a member of the family. Predators such as hawks and the occasional coyote or bobcat do roam cities and are closer to us than we're aware.
