im so sorry for your loss.
Oh, the blue Quakers are so pretty. So sorry about your loss. You did the best you knew how. I just lost an English budgie, and I am devastated. The birds may be small, but they know how to touch our hearts. And birds can mask their illnesses very well. We do the best to care for them, detect if they are sick; but most of us are not avian veterinarians.My best friend and little buddy Whirly just passed away. He was a beautiful blue Quaker, and he was 16 years old. I loved him so very much. I cannot stop crying. I still don't understand what happened. It all happened so quickly. He started showing signs of illness Sunday, and I couldn't get him into the vet until this afternoon. The vet said it was most likely respiratory and that he was indeed very sick. He gave him an antibiotic shot and sent me home with some treated drinking water for him, and told me to keep using the UVB lamp. By the time we got home, I put him back in his cage, and he just laid down on the cage floor and went to sleep. I guess I just came here to find others that can relate to how deep the love for a bird can be. I will miss him so terribly.
Thank you Love Birds! So sorry for the loss of your English budgie - hugs to you!Oh, the blue Quakers are so pretty. So sorry about your loss. You did the best you knew how.
