Not saying this is the right approach, but one thing I thought of was "how would you handle this if it was an ex gf that you really couldn't stand and didn't want anything to do with?"
Granted if she called and was crying about the bird you might call her and say "sorry to hear", but it would be with a 'I can't believe she's going to use a dead animal to try to rope me back in' tone in the back of my mind. Then you'd try to make sure any time she pinged you that you stayed totally dark so she'd get the message. Even to the point of being a bit rude. It's not rude of you, it's rude of her to not take a bloody hint!
I think you're doing mostly the same thing, but next time she reaches out you might have to be a little more curt, like not responding at all. I agree this might not have been the right time or situation to stonewall her, but thinking of her as a crazy stalker ex you want out of your life is probably a good compass to use.
Thoughts?
