I had my Senegal parrot since I was 17. She was playing and happy and talking yesterday. Moving around a bit today, but I don't recall if she was chatty. I have been in and out between 2 and 11. I heard her moving around after I got home around 11:30, but she's normally very talkative when I settle in. I realized I hadn't heard anything from her for an hour or two and started calling her name and making the noises that she'd normally mimic back and nothing. I looked in her cage and found her on the bottom with one wing spread and her eyes partially closed. She wasn't the healthiest looking bird. She was only 16 years old though. She had a rough molt about 3 years back and ended up with no belly feathers and a bald spot on her back. Nursed her back enough that she got down feathers back, but like I said she's been energetic and chatty. The only thing I can think of is a TV dinner I had. It was on a cardboard tray with some sort of coating on it. I tried to look into what they use to treat those trays, but I couldn't find any specifics. I'm just heart broken. If I ever get another bird, should I add TV dinners to my No no list? I've known about the teflon and nonstick I just never thought about what TV dinner trays are made of.
