Sweetpea African grey
I Just had to post this!!

I lost my African Grey Timneh Sweet pea Last night 12/09/13 she was only 9 would have been 10 in march of 2014.Im really shocked and so hurt she was such a wonderful bird and companion!!She knew well over 100 words and just in her short little life!!

I don't know what happened she had no signs of anything up until the last hr!She started to breath very hard almost looking for air!and was very very sleepy couldn't even keep her eyes open!!She was clinging on to her cage that I had open because she knew if she didn't she would fall over she had no strength.

I was able to pull her little feet off of the cage and I held her on my chest and could here her breathing hard.I started to rub her head and then she started to ease on her breathing some!!But then she started crying lke pain!!then she took her head and put it on my shoulder and rested it there!i told her it was ok to go if she needed too!after that her breathing got even easier and then she passed away only a short time after!!

Does anyone have a idea what may have caused such a fast thing like that to happen?She was fine no sighns of anything up until the last hr before she passed!!And there was no way to get her to a clinic we don't have many here and at 10pm nothing open

I TOOK HER today to have her cremated and will put her in a special urn.

She will be so so missed by everyone around me and exspecialy myself as having her from a baby up until the very end its very very hard as now my house is so quiet with out her.

may you fly high my friend you are at home and in peace
 
so sorry for your loss , I know what you are going through , I lost my quaker last week and I miss him badly and the house does seem to quiet without him around
 
Im still at a total shock cause I never expected her to go so suddenly
 
Oh Cup, I am so sorry. It must of been a terrible experience but try to take comfort from the fact that you found her and that she died with you holding her rather than alone on the bottom of a cage. I know it's hard, but it's obvious you loved her.
 
I am so sorry your baby had to go so early.....:(
Sounds like some respiratory problem.
I am not an expert, but I know some household chemicals or Teflon coating that gets overheated can cause sudden death in birds.
 
I am so sorry for your loss of Sweet Pea:( So glad you were there for her at the end, I am sure it was comforting to her.
 
I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss.
