Sorry I am juggling birds here, and lots of phone calls....
Ok..so she said nothing has changed , no new cleaners, no new toys, etc.
She has had 2 GCC die within the past 6 months, they were siblings and was thought it to be a genetic issue.
Nothing has changed in the situation with the budgie.
No new cages
No drafts
NADA
She is on her way now to the emergency clinic.
Yes I agree. I am going to see whats going on.2 GCC and a budgie now? Something sounds amis..
She needs her home tested. Or maybe a VERY HEAVY look over.. something doesnt sound right.
Poor little budgie..
I also agree and she does order her food online from a place in New York. Its some all organic company I will have to see whats with that also.something doesnt sound right. Poor little budgie..

I agree. It could be something simple as diet related. Not all grains and seeds, or produce are equal. Their nutrient content is dependant on the minerals and nutrients in the soil they are grown in.
I learned this when I was having my star-gazer problems years ago. In my part of the country, nutrient content is also dependant on how the seed/grain is stored. Silos are the most common bulk storage system. But in hot humid climates this can be bad and affect the nutrient conten/values of seed/grains. I learned that in the fall most suppliers have new fresh crops, but by the following summer, early fall these stores are dead of nutrients, and also a source of aflatoxcins, fungus, etc, which can be problematic. During certain times of the year I try to have seed shipped in from northern states.
