Bluie passed away 1/19/21. He was an English budgie. My neighbor found him about 7 1/2 years ago in the birdbath (with running water) in her front yard. We advertised for the owner, but no one ever responded. I said I would take him in. He ended up being the sweetest pet--well behaved, laid back, friendly, and fit in with my flock so well. Unfortunately, I took him to the vet on 1/19/21 for a check-up. The vet suspected he had a tumor in his kidney or testicle. She took an x-ray to determine the type of tumor. Bluie had trouble breathing after being taken off the sedation, and he didn't make it. He never had respiratory problems before. They always say there is a risk with sedation, and I guess Bluie was one of the unlucky ones. He will be missed.
