sorry, a little confused. So you bought 2 budgies, one just dropped to the floor, you then threw them in the bin, then a week later that same budgie was flying around the kitchen alive and well?

I have so many questions regarding this but here are the chief among them.

1. Why did you put the alive budgie in with your others if the other "died" surely that's reason to believe that they have a disease which can be spread to the rest of your aviary and kill all of your birds.

2. Why didn't you check them for breathing/a pulse before announcing death?

never assume anything. Stress of moving is highly unlikely to kill a budgie save for extreme circumstances

you need to get that budgie to a vet as being in garbage for a week isn't good for it

Hi, I believe he wasn’t in the trash for a week, he was put in there, family went back out, returned and disposed the bin without checking it.
Sometime later, it was discovered, the little tyke recovered, crawled out, and was in the house for a week!

A little suspicious here . . .

I bought a budgie once and it was dead before I got it home so stress can have deadly results. But If it were stiff, it was definitely dead. rigor mortis does not set in if the bird is alive. There has to be a better explanation.

the body was stiff but was flopping but ive been told by a breeder it could have been stress and was out cold or playing i tend to believe the first explanation more than the second though

well, stiff and flopping are not the same thing. floppy means not stiff. either way, happy to hear there were no deaths.

I'm genuinely so confused by this entire thread

YUMgrinder · Mar 19, 2018

yea it is a very strange thread!

I wonder if budgies engage in "torpor" as do hummingbirds?

Trolls come on to posts without offering anything pertaining to the post. They rarely post threads.

heartbeat. Possibly my medical training being too ingrained but whenever I see anyone/any animal unconscious my first instinct is to check for a heartbeat followed by checking for breathing

dead budgie?
