Oh God, I just lost Citrine.
I don't know what happened.
Yesterday he was playing and sitting on my finger eating millet..
This afternoon I saw him walking on the bottom of the cage, but he does that sometimes looking for things to peck at ..
When I finished work I saw him sitting on the bottom again, so I ran over to check on him. I picked him up and he just immediately collapsed in my hand and was gone!!
I have wrapped him up for a necropsy and left a message with my vet..
His keel bone feels sharp and I realized I haven't weighed them in awhile like I used to do regularly, so I have no idea if he was suddenly underweight.. I weighed Cypress just now and he is normal..
I didn't notice any vomiting or bad poops or anything..
I thought I was a better bird mom than this..
Oh my baby boy.. he was the strong, bold, brave one..
He was only 3...
