3 month old budgie died suddenly

[Friendly Feathered Friend]

In September, I decided to get a budgie who I named Cicero after I lost another 3 month old budgie to a broken neck. I wanted to get a friend for Sparky, as he seemed lonely, but now that I think about it, maybe I shouldn’t because Sparky’s health isn’t the greatest recently, and I don’t want to stress him out. Cicero came from a good breeder in my area, but he unfortunately was not hand tamed. The other bad thing was that I was forced to have his wings clipper before I took him home, just like all my other birds. They were right, he was not at all tame and got scared when I opened his cage to get him clean food and water and even clean the bottom. Well about 11 days later as I was putting all the rest of my pets to bed, I found him dead on the bottom of the cage. He was showing no signs of sickness, had no visible lumps, no broken bones or injuries, I kept his dishes and liners clean, he was eating and drinking a normal amount, and there were no signs of external parasites. Unfortunately it is too late to do a necropsy, as he died in September, and we already buried him. Does anyone have any ideas how he died? Btw this cage was only to be used temporarily

Sorry for your loss, but its impossible to even hazard a guess at this late date as to cause of death. A lot of folks have experienced a loved parrot just...... going. I know I have. FWIW necropsy must take place within 24 hrs and the body must have been refrigerated, not frozen.
