Are the birds near any drafts (this is a basic basic question and you probably will say no, but it never hurts to ask)? This all deals with airborne problems. You should also look into their water, their food, the treats, etc. What were you feeding them? I'm so sorry for your loss. The pain is incredible, and the is just numbing. I know where you've been, and I can completely sympathize with you. I hope you feel better.
    Alex's birthday was Saturday and I bought her millet and a new toy. I washed the toy. Nothing else was different. I still threw away everything and bought Milton all new stuff.

    I feel so bad for Milton. I think he knows what's going on because he's not calling for Evie like he used to when she would be away from him. I know his little heart is breaking just like mine. He came from a shelter and he has been with us for over a year. It's like he finally found his cockatiel family and they all die. Poor little guy. Plus, he wasn't hand raised and I don't think he likes to be handled, which means he will have almost no physical contact in his life. I plan to work with him more, but not if it means stressing him out. It's way too soon to tell, especially since I don't know what happened to Alex, Danny, & Evie, but I might consider in the future getting Milton a friend. I honestly don't want to, but Milton deserves companionship.

    Diana, I can hardly come up with words right now. This is unimaginable, unbearable . My heart is completely broken for you Diana, and your babies, dear little Alex... . I know how deeply bonded you were to your little girl. This is almost beyond comprehension, you must be in such shock and grief. Wrapping my arms around you in my heart Diana, across the miles. I am so very, very sorry.

    Alex, Danny, Evie, you will be missed sweethearts. Fly joyfully at the bridge, sweet birdies.
