Does your other baby have a friend or is it alone now? Keep an eye on there mood, if there alone you may want to get another buddy in there, and I would stick with same color birb to help with bonding together. If you want to be on the super safe side, get rid of the chains and hang everything with sea grass/rope, etc. I had seen a bird get foot stuck in a chain. Had a heart attack do to the panic, she couldn't free herself. Cuttle bone, do they chip off the hard back side of it? May want to supply calcium and beak scrapper another way. The smaller the bird the more I worry about the smaller things being an issue. If they like the birb tube you removed, replace it with a woven sea grass one or some similar material. Would only take a small piece of that white PVC tube ingested to be trouble... You're other fids a cutie too!

Thanks for the reply.. yes I have other birds too, she's fine now, eating good. Sure I will replace the plastic with sea grass, I will remove chain too.. how much amount sprouts should be given? I'm feeding them sprouts weekly twice or trice, is that ok? Few people are said to me that shouldn't feed green leaves and vegetables everyday. It is true? I'm giving green leaves and vegetables everyday, 25-30 percent of their daily meal., rest they eat seed mix and millet spay.

My late budgie Skyler(in my pic) was suddenly sick for about a week. As I debated whether to get him to the vet he died. I had a necropsy done. What he died of was cancer ---the vet said that early cancers in budgies was very common --it's genetic since the birds in this country are inbred.
You have my heartfelt sympathies --I still miss my sweet rebel.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you lost the sweet little guy.
I hope you can discover why he died, but as others have said, there could be many reasons.

And welcome here - there are such knowledgeable people here!
