Two nights ago, I came home to find all three of my parakeets dead. I had just seen them two hours before, in which they'd been acting completely normal. I have a cockatiel in a separate cage next to the parakeets, who's fine. I took one of the parakeets into a place to get a necropsy done, and on the way home I was talking to my mom about how horrible and abrupt the situation was. While talking to her, I found out she had bought new pans from Walmart the night before their death. They were nonstick pans and my little brother had used one of them to make a pizza in the oven, 30 minutes before I found my parakeets dead. I feel like that's what killed them -- my mom feels horrible, but I feel even more terrible for not have telling her about not buying nonstick pans. I'm devastated and heartbroken that something so preventable likely killed my parakeets, I loved them so much. I can't believe I forgot to mention that she couldn't use nonstick pans. I can't believe I had forgotten about the toxicity of nonstick pans; I feel so stupid. The only thing I wonder is how my cockatiel is completely unaffected. He is next to the parakeets. Is it possible that maybe something else killed my parakeets? I won't be getting the necropsy results for awhile and I feel so horrible and guilty. I haven't even been able to go to class (I'm a full time college student), or sleep well. I can't believe this happened, and I feel completely at fault for it.
