That's all. He just barked at me
She's a quite unsocial yellow Melopsittacus undulatus (idk the english name, the little ones), we got her around 10 years ago from a neighbor, she says she found her in her yard randomly one day. We had another parrot already so she gave her to us.
When you approach her she moves to other parts of her cage and never wants to come out. She did a few times and panicked. She did eat out of my hands like 3 times in her 10 years being here. we communicate in short clicks and whistles that mean "turn off the light" or "thanks".
The last few days she's been breathing heavily and she's stopped singing and communicating completely. I brought her cage to my room where the lights are dim and its warmer, and i covered a part of her cage with cloth for extra darkness if she needs it.
Is there anything more i can do or any way i can approach her to make sure her passing is as peaceful as it can be.
TLDR: how to make a parrot die peacefully (not murder)
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!

This happened quite a few years ago, when I had just gotten married. I was working at a big-box pet store. We had this sweet bird, a young [Indian Ringneck Parakeet] (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/08/A_Parrot_in_India_%288276292103%29.jpg) that we named Joey. I would let him sit on my shoulder while I cleaned fish tanks. I really wanted to take him home (we already had a few [budgies] (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Melopsittacus_undulatus_-Fort_Worth_Zoo%2C_Texas%2C_USA-8a.jpg/1200px-Melopsittacus_undulatus_-Fort_Worth_Zoo%2C_Texas%2C_USA-8a.jpg), aka "parakeets"), but his price tag, including all the accessories, was too much of a stretch for our newlywed budget. A retail store is no home for a parrot, so I was motivated to find the right owner for him.
One day, my manager told me a customer had called and was considering buying Joey, and wanted a quote for the accessories they would need to "do it right" while keeping it reasonable. She knew I was fond of him and asked if I would price out the stuff. Feeling bittersweet about Joey finding a home, I picked out a cage, perches, toys, etc. and came up with a number for my manager to give the customer.
Later that day, a couple came in and was looking very interested in Joey. I told them another customer was interested too, so if they wanted to buy this bird, it might be a good idea to do it now. But still, they decided not to take him home.
So Joey still had no home lined up, just a "maybe" customer who had called to ask about him. On top of that, my husband had just found out he was being transferred to my home state. We had asked for a transfer there if one became available, but didn't expect it to come so soon. This was my last week at the store. So even if Joey didn't find a home soon, I knew wouldn't be seeing him anymore.
At the end of the day, the mystery customer finally appeared... it was my husband! He wanted to surprise me with the birdie he knew I loved, using the moving bonus (the amount of which I had not yet found out). We brought our new pet, renamed Bonzo, and our other birds with us on our move, but I never let him forget that in his zeal to surprise me, he almost got me to sell my bird to someone else!
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
