Oh no! Not sweet Birdbird! Oh, I'm SO sorry to hear of this. I know that you had Birdbird for many years and loved her dearly. She was such a pretty bird. Poor baby Feathers must be devastated. Please take care of yourself and Feathers and know that Birdbird lived a happy and healthy life in your care and will always be grateful.

Do you have any clue on how she died? Was she old? Cockatiels can live well into their 20s and 30s, but I don't know how old she was. Sometimes birds chew on something toxic, or breathe toxic fumes (self cleaning over, over heated non-stick pan, scented candles, and other things). With a bird's curiosity to get into things they shouldn't, unfortunately the worst can happen if they get their beaks on something toxic. It is not normal for a bird to just die without showing any signs of illness beforehand, unless its death was caused by toxication or toxic fumes. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Did you check her droppings from the day before? Were they normal or runny? Sometimes runny poops can be the only signs of illness. I know this is a very hard time for you and your family, but I suggest that, since you do not know the cause of death, please take Feathers for a check up to the vet to rule out any sickness. I'm so sorry. Birdbird was such a sweetie. I'm sorry I saw this late, because I was quite busy today and couldn't come on Pt. I was devastated to hear this awful news. Kaitlynn must be very upset. RIP sweet Birdbird
