I would have to imagine the answer to your question is, Yes they do. To quote the old saying, they will establish a new pecking order. It is always sad when you lose a companion like you did.

Mustard was a cute little guy but he got weak one day and didn't make it through the day. He had a little bit of watery poop and he was old. He was a real pretty color

My condolences to you on the loss of Mustard. May your memories of this little bird be a blessing to you.

I've kind of gotten good at realizing when it's almost time for.them to "go." Mustard, I feel like I rescued him because he was the only bird in the cage at the store and I figured out quick he was an older (slower) bird. Who knows how long he was there.
I still talk to the other birds but have not entirely found my balance yet.
Having no room or.time to bury more birds.. I gently tossed him in the grass by the lake. Not in the water, because birds don't swim, but mid-way in the grass, maybe somewhat close.to a tree. It's his cute little body. I was kind of expecting him to make it but when I had to look for him (he got.out of the cage) I knew something was wrong. Then, when he was struggling to sit on the perch and almost fell off, I knew there was not much I could do.
He died two hours later. I'm giving I'm timeframe an exaggeration.
Where do you think they go when they die? I like all the birds and I have a flock but he is definitely one of my favorites and absolutely the friendliest. They get slower as they get older. When they get a little too slow, I worry..

I really can't say with any authority, but I see that you've found The Rainbow Bridge thread in the Pets forum. That poem always makes me go a bit teary-eyed and I've always found it to be comforting.
Judaism provides a great deal of latitude in imagining what an afterlife must be like. If we do go to a garden of delights, how can it be delightful if we don't see our animal companions there, waiting patiently for us? So, if you believe that you will see Mustard again (along with every other beloved animal companion you've ever had), then I will believe it, too.

The idea of a Rainbow Bridge is something I've learned since I was a kid. I have quite a few pets (even ones I wasn't that attached to) waiting for me there. It is not exclusive to Judaism.. which I didn't even know provided for an afterlife??
I consider myself a Baptist, and I do remember.. I mean, I would *think* that if you ask a Fundamentalist Baptist if animals go to heaven, they *may* (and I don't like this answer) tell you that because an animal cannot confess with their mouth "I confess Jesus is my personal Lord and Savior and died on the cross for my sins" and then go down into the water, to come up a new person in Christ.. that they don't go??
Mustard. I didn't want Mustard to suffer and I hope he didn't. But he was falling off the perch...
