I woke up this morning and my parakeet was acting very different. She was holding onto the cage and her perch and she wouldn't move. The past couple of weeks she was very active. I haven't updated but she came out of her cage a lot more, although she never let me pet her, she did eventually start coming on my finger. But she hated being touched. Well this morning I woke up, took off her cover and like I said, she was holding onto the cage and perch. I instantly knew something was wrong. When I went to touch her, she actually didn't bite or hesitate letting me touch her. I called the avian vet and she wasn't open. My bird eventually crept on the bottom. I knew this was it. She kept trying to move but you could tell she didn't have the strength. I picked her up and was holding her, she grasped me and I could feel the heat from her. I set he
r down for a second and I heard her move and she was gone. This is very hard for me and I lost my first parakeet today:( I feel so guilty.. If anyone wants to message me and maybe I can give more info? I need answers. I might take her to the avian vet for answers if that's possible

Kayyyla, I'm really sorry for the lost of your beloved budgie. I truly understand how you feel when you didn't know the cause of his death. May he rest in peace.....

I'm sorry to hear about you little bird. I have been there before with Cheeko.

I'm devistated. I don't know how to handle it:( I can't stop crying. I can't even sleep in my room.. She slept by me

I'm so sorry to read about the loss of your bird.

So sorry Kayla. I lost one to cancer and my other is sick now. They aren't sure why.

i just cant get out of this funk, i keep thinking about her and her last moments with me.. she always chirped, but not really the singing kind.. and when she was in my hand and i set her down, she tried talking, very softly. and just recently i kept trying to teach her to do "kisses" and i would say kisses and make a kissing noise and she loved it, but she never mocked me. and when i was talking to her and praying for her, i said i love you, kisses and i made the noise, and she slightly made a smooch noise, but it was really soft. i just broke down. i miss her so much and she was my first parakeet. i will never replace her, i did so much for her.

my finace took me to the pet store to cheer me up and he said i should get 2 parakeets and a big cage, but i dont want to quite yet. plus, im unsure on 2. he just wants me to be happy and he thinks it would be good for me if i got one identical to my bird and named him/her "junior."

i just cant do it quite yet:(

i need help thinking positive i guess.. everyday, she was in my routine. i always played with her, even when i put her to bed, she would only go on her swing to sleep if i set her up there, otherwise she would chirp at me and tilt her head.. i just feel so alone:(

It's just time and you will not replace her because each have a unique personality. Maybe you need a little time before you get another bird. If I ever got another I would go to a breeder because they are already hand trained. There is nothing you can do about the sad feelings except know that time heals all wounds, and you will come to acceptance and still have the good memories. You gave her a really great life.

yeah, i thought about the breeder too, if i ever get another one. when we went to the store, there were so many and somes feathers were all bent and out of place and such. it broke my heart. ill never replace my girl. she was so unique, she was a prissy little thing and very stubborn, but i was the only one she took to and i am very happy that i gave her a better life than her previous owners.
