He did pass tonight in my arms
he got into something, I suspect zink... so he is not doing well.
So covered the bird after offering him his favorite foods. He is not that into eating, or making noise or anything like that. He is not ancient, but he is not young either. So unlike his rambunctious sister, 10 years his younger.
The only good news here is that his sister is not avoiding him like the plague. Usually when birds get sick, the rest of the flock kind of abandons them. And I was sick as a dog this week, so I did not quite prevent him playing where the plumbing snake was... (I was running a fever at one point as high as 103... so was not quite thinking clearly) So if he does byte the dust, cross the bridge, whatever euphemism you want to use for a dead bird, I will blame myself. Oh and the snake is in the trash too.
Yes, connie did that, got chelating therapy as well, when she was a young chick, She used to ahem, play with coins... so I should know better... so if your cat, dog, pet bird, does that, stop them. It is cute, but can kill them. Consider that more of a PSA...
Here is a photo

And he passed in my arms

Must have lined its cage with her writings and it read enough to commit suicide.
Did you guys see the cage? Looks like it belonged in Lionessa's apartment. :o No wonder it committed suicide!

94. Why didn't you take him to the vet when he looked sick?
Or clean up that filth? Or feed him some reasonably nutritious food? I see garbage calories, shit everywhere and walls that look like a meth lab. No wonder he died.
Poor guy. He deserved better.

105. I'm really sorry for your loss
I know you've been sick and not able to do as much, but please try to keep the cage area and food bowls clean for your other bird. Our feathered friends are much more at risk of taking ill if their cages are not cleaned on a regular basis of waste, debris, and spoiled food.
And I'm not sure if you are aware, but rust is very dangerous to birds.
I hope you feel better soon. I know how difficult it is to let things go when we are ill.
Peace.

109. And you are aware that our cocaktiel
lived beyond life expectancy and cookie at life expectancy. I think I know what I am doing. In fact, their vet would agree with that statement.
This is what I call a low level aggression and off to alert mode (which I never do) and you off to the same list of nasty people.

See that? Supposed animal activist, sensitive, sanctimonious tongue-clucking DUmmies hide the one post telling ****ing filthy, disgusting scumbag Nadin to have some dignity and clean up that fetid hole where she imprisoned the bird.
Can you IMAGINE the stench of Nads' house?
<---- would not be surprised to learn that the bird had a cyanide capsule under its wing the whole time.

Nads if by some chance you read this thread, for the love of God please do not get another pet until you can properly care for it.
