Lil vent bout collecting

It sounds like you had a genuine connection with the bird and wanted to keep it as a way to honor its life. It's completely understandable that you were excited to share your discovery with others, especially since it meant something special to you.Sometimes people react differently to things, and it's not a reflection of your intentions or emotions.
