Unfortunately my budgie, Percy is getting euthanised today due to a tumour. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on comforting his two siblings - should i take them with myself and Percy to the vets so they know what is happening?

I don't think it is necessary to take the other budgies.
I would definitely bring Percy home and let them see him for a while.
My sympathies to you, I know that is a hard decision. I wish cancer was not so common in budgies anymore.

I'm so sorry for your pain.

I brought MC home to show Secret. We put him on a chair near Secret's cage. It was sad. Birds do understand.

Sending you and your other babies peace and comfort during this time. I just lost my one and only budgie Gina this morning. :sad6::sorrow:

I also would leave the other birds home and bring the body of Percy home for your others to say goodbye to.
I am so sorry you are dealing with this, it is such a tough decision to help them pass away peacefully to put an end their suffering or pain. Huge hugs to you :sadhug2:

As a child I had a budgie that had a tumour on his breastbone. He was my best friend and I had to spend my saved allowance to have him diagnosed. We couldn't afford to have him euthanized. He died at home in pain. You are doing the right thing.
