The sweet boy was thin and had a long beak due to refusing to eat anything healthy. He later was found lifeless at the bottom of the cage.OMG, I didn't know you lost Sudlhor, this is so sad.. What happened? I'm so sorry
That's so sad... Twitter also passed away very quickly, one day he was fine and the morning after I found him very apatic in his cage, he died a couple of hours later. The vet didn't know what it was, but I later found out that the pellets he was eating (Harrisson's), and that are so good for budgies, are too rich in protein for parrotlets, they can't process the thing. He probably died from kidney failure. He was also quite thin, which always amazed us, considering the amounts of food he was eating, the vet said he probably stopped drinking and then couldn't assimilate his food. I know he was drinking but then, what I found about the protein thing is that it gives that kind of symptoms, the kidneys are failing, thus they don't get enough liquids in their blood, thus don't assimilate the food.
Ooh @Davi, do you ship internationally? I think I want a play gym for my fids to hang out in the living room while they’re out of the cage!
I usually don't ship internationally, mostly because international shipping rates tend to be so prohibitive. But if there's a specific item or items in my shop that you're interested in, I can try to give you a shipping quote. Thank you for your interest!
Don't worry, I'm fine. I cherish the time we had him in our lives, and I hope he had a good life with us, really hope he wasn't in pain, but what is done is done and I don't beat myself over it. I'll know better next time, and in the meantime, if our story can save other p'lets, I spread the word...
I know it is difficult. Sometimes we learn hard and cruel lesson. You are allowed to stop punishing yourself. Twitter was such a beautiful and loved bird. You should be proud to have had him in your life. I hope you find peace again.
