You need to understand that people are upset due to what your former friend did to your bird. They're trying to help you and your parakeet.
It's easy for a bird to go into shock and die, especially a budgie or a parakeet. This is what stood to happen to your bird, and may yet happen from the abuse it underwent. Birds are hard-wired to not show when they're sick or injured because in the wild that equals dinner.
I'd strongly urge that you take your parakeet to an avian vet to have it examined. It may have internal injuries from a huge (to it) weight (the pillows) being thrown at it or may be in shock as I stated. Shock can lead to heart attacks in birds and I doubt you want to see your bird go through this. Imagine how you'd feel if you had the Empire State building crash into your home, and then had Greyhound buses thrown at you. That's as close as I can come to explaining what your poor parakeet felt when it was undergoing the abuse.
I'd also urge that you not let the abuser near you or your pet again. If this former "friend" abuses such a small being, odds are it's already into an abusive behavior pattern. In other words, it's going to keep attacking your pet and yourself, if given half a chance. This "friend" has shown that it doesn't matter if something lives or dies or is injured due to it's actions. Do you want to take such a chance now that you know what this person is like? Your former "friend" has serious issues that endangers anything living it's near.
If this "friend" tries to make up, please, stop and ask yourself if you really want to be friends with someone who abuses a bird that you love, refuses to heed and stop their abusive behavior, and obviously has zero respect for you or your home.
I do agree with the writer who said you should have thrown this former "friend" out when they refused to heed your order not to mistreat your bird. This "person" proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are not a friend. I doubt they even know the meaning of the word based on what they did in YOUR home, to YOU, and to your beloved parakeet.

It sounds like she is flagrantly mistreating your bird, which is despicable, but you need to cool down a bit. I know you care about your bird. If you could apply some of the same patience and love you treat your parakeet with to your friend, that would be ideal. Nobody is perfect, and it sounds like your friend just didn't realize how much you care for your parakeet and, if she's never owned many pets before, she dosen't understand the proper way to treat them. Obviously your friend isn't responsible and patient enough to care for a pet. Next time you see your friend, openly and firmly voice your concern at the way she treats your parakeet. Tell her that you think she is mistreating and disrespecting you and the bird and tell her not to throw things at it, if the parakeet dosent want to fly, dont make it. Always set a good example, too. And if your friend can't improve her behavior around your bird after you have continually told her to, then don't let her even go near it. Tell her that, unless she can treat your bird with more kindness, she wont be able to be near your bird at all. Your anger in this situation is understandable, but there is no need to throw chairs like other people said. If she continues to be a bad friend and disrespects you and your property in other ways, then it may be time to find better friends, but I think you should give her a sencond chance. But, whatever you do, it's your call, good luck with your bird and your friend. (or ex-friend, anyway.)

Well first off make sure you never expose your bird to her anymore. He could have easily been hurt and he may now be afraid of things he wasn't afraid of before. Give him a ogod look ove,r make sure nothing is out of place and if you doubt osmething get an avian vet to make sure he is ok. You may want her parents to see if she is mentally retarded sicne sometimes anyone who is that awful to animals could really hurt humans. At least keep her away. Since the bird wans't hurt and ntohignw as broken you cna't sue plus prosecuting some one costs money. I'd just ask her parents to get her some help, and keep her away. Get your bird over and start working with him on objects by his cages or any problems he may have. Sorry about your friend going crazy like that, hope your bird is ok.

Lock her out of your house, don't let her in.
If she asks what's up, give a sassy reply so that she knows why, like tell her your parakeet and you are just sitting there, not flying or doing anything. Ignore her. She doesn't seem like a good friend if she didn't listen when you told her to stop. Next time you see her if you're "forced" to interact with her, do something like, "Oh hey could you throw this empty bottle away for me?" and then throw it at her. -- TIP: Don't aim for the face or she could get really upset.
Name some of the things she threw, please! And if any of them are not to harmful for humans, throw one at her. Say, "FLY FREAK FLY!" ... Then laugh, or use the reaction she did after she threw the items at your bird.

Explain to your friend that such abuse towards a parakeet or any animal is unacceptable by your moral standards. I would try to be clear and unemotional during my explanation, which my be difficult- so a letter may be the way to go.
If your friend ignores your concerns, then I would consider no longer being friends with them- be cordial, but don't have them over to your house or be close to them. An important part of friendship is to respect each other's morals- regardless if you agree or not.
If your friend acknowledges your concerns, I would still reconsider my friendship towards that person. It's one thing to dislike pets- it's another to be abusive. This may be a flaw in their personality that may make things unsafe for you in the future- even if they do not direct harm at you, what if they abuse another animal (which is illegal) while you are present and you get in trouble?
If your friend sees that she is wrong, then work with your friend to change her behavior- because friends help others become better people- especially if she respects and listens to your views.

Here is something you can use instead of insults. Tell her to get out! Tell her it is abuse and you will call the police. This is against the law to do. You need better friends. She sounds cruel, how does she treat you? She might be jealous of your attention on the bird instead of her. I would kick her out or keep the bird in another room when she is around.

Keep her away from your bird, there isn't much you can do legally I don't think. As long as the bird isnt hurt that's good. Because you own the bird, and he is inside your house, your friend isnt going to be living in your house. So I would lock my doors and reject any invitations to. As for revenge, it isnt very nice, but I would certainly tell her off and flame her for doing so. If needed, I would tottaly kick that so called friendship. Respect me, my loved ones, my possessions, or else I won't respect any of you.

In the first place, WHY do you call this person your "friend?" She just repeatedly attacked your bird!
Personally I would report her to the local animal shelter , or even the Police for cruelty to animals. Maybe sitting in jail and paying a big fine would make her think twice about hurting innocent pets.
In addition, she would never be allowed in my house, near my pets or near ME again!! Who knows when she might decide that it would be fun to hurt YOU??!!
