Hello to all, im so sad that my first post in this forum is about passing of my tiel friend.
It all started at the end of 2009, when we got her. I was reading a lot about birds, and we decide to buy a male cause of possible egg problems. Couple of months later "he" laid first egg. She was good bird but somehow passive, not curious. All that she liked was to be with us and schraching her neck. Wasnt afraid of hands either. Problem was with eating, she only ate seeds. There was no chance she will eat vegies or fruits, we tryed everything. She was scared of toys, and new stuff. Liked to chirp to us when we are not in same room or coming home from work. Also she was chasing us through rooms. Her cage was open almost all the time. Trouble is that i live in small town with no avian vet, thats also problem in all Serbia. Vet here doesnt know to treat dogs or cats.
First time of trouble we had on her second or third egg batch. One egg stuck and bird started to lose strenght, stopped eating and start to fall. I put her warm bottles, heater and started massaging her in bathroom with hot shower mist to lose her up. We thouth she will never get to the morning but she laid that egg. After that she was normal.
Year ago she didnt fly no more, little by little. But otherwise acted normal. From the time we got her she slept on any perch, bottom cage, feeder on both legs or one. When ever she got stool trouble little coal would help and in a day shes back to normal. I was puting vitamins to water too, minerals in food and always she had cuttlebone. Her cloak was dirty and little swollen. She didnt change feathers as usual and didnt remove broken ones. Also she didnt pluck her soft faethers so they peaked under wings. Stool was kinda slimey and long sticking from cloak until she clean it.
Also she was sleeping more during the day, head tucked in back. Two days ago when come home from work i noticed watery stool like someone pour water on bottom of the cage. She was eating and drinking normal. Turned on heater, put some hot water in bottles and it looked like she are going better again. But as i turn light off and go to bed i noticed her on bottom on the cage with wings dropped down. Now she doesnt want no more food or water. Started some heavy breathing with noises. Stool now is some whitish liquid. Finally some bubles starded coming from the nose and she died minutes later.
We buried her today under some tree in forest.
Im devasteded that i could not help her. No vets capable of helping her. I miss her sound, her jumping from cage when she see us eating. I miss her twisting her head with my finger while screaching her. I dont know how old was she when we got her, but this was wonderfull 7 years. Im too sad to post her pic or video.
May we meet again.
