Yellow-naped Amazon "Sammy"
Love birds (4)
Green-cheeked Conure "Skittles" - now, sadly gone from my life
Blue-Crowned Conure "Tequila"
African Grey "Reno" - sadly, now gone from my life
Last night, all 6 of our Lovebirds were having a great time, making lots of racket, chattering happily, chewing up toys and generally just being Lovebirds.
Today, Teddy (male) and Niblet (female, the very first baby we raised, who's had babies of her own, since) were both dead in the bottom of their cage, huddled tight together as always, as though they were sleeping.
Niblet was only about 4 years old, and Teddy was 3.
We have no idea what happened! The other Lovies seem fine, and the only thing out of the ordinary in Niblet and Teddy's cage was what appears to be a completely chewed-up plastic toy.
I'm devastated. I've had to bury 3 of my feathered friends in the last few months, including Paulie, my beloved Lilac-crowned Amazon, and now it will be 5. It's so hard to cope with yet another loss, much less two at once.
We'll be taking them in to our avian vet for a necropsy, as I'm very concerned that they might have contracted something that could spread to the rest of the flock.
God, I hate the thought of having to bury two more of my little friends. And more tears. Lots of tears.
