I'm so sorry, how terrible to lose all three at once!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. May they RIP.

Oh dear! I'm so sorry! The same thing happened with my ex-flock (I say that because my flock of 6-7 or so was reduced to 3). However, I know why my birds died. It does give me some closure to know what caused their deaths and how to prevent it. Have you recently painted your house? Have you recently acquired a new bird? 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.

Oh no

I am so sorry for your losses, how horrible it must be to those three at one time

RIP Alex, Danny and Evie!

I am so very sorry.

I am sure that was heartbreaking. {{{Big Hugs}}}

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.
