I'm so very sorry. It's heartbreaking when they're just babies. She should have had a long, happy life with you.

My heart bleeds for you. May your baby fly high and free and healthy as she should have been.

PS - I think you have recourse on that aviary. Will talk to you later when the shock is less.

So sorry to hear about Pebbles. I have a golden conure that tested positive for ABV and we still don't know where it came from. The male I got her with tested negative multiple times, and the breeder I got her from tested all of his goldens and they were negative. None of my other birds have tested positive. I believe it came from her parents and didn't manifest until she was almost 2 when the male tried to breed her and stressed her out. It's a mystery.

Please let us know if the test comes back positive, and big hugs to you while you work through all of this.

I am sooo sorry for your loss. I can't believe what you went through. I am not trying to make you feel worse, it just angers me to no end that people make so much money on selling of the these birds. I never intended on being a beak freak. My parrots were all given to me, sadly by people that didn't want them but had enough sense to find them a good home. My heart breaks for you and Pebbles. I

I'm very sorry to hear this. Pebbles looked lovely. Poked & prodded on her last day or not, she knew what it was to be loved before she died.

The aviary sounds heartless. & I agree with Hankmacaw. I don't think they can legally wash their hands of this. They promised testing & a healthy baby bird. They didn't deliver on one & likely not on the other either.

I agree, this company needs to be investigated or something. I know it is painful right now. If Hankmacaw can help her with this situation I would reach out to him. How many other parronts have lost a loved feathered friend that they bought from this company?

I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt but this isn’t the first complaint I’ve seen about them.
