Yesterday she was fine. This morning when I woke she was barely conscious. A couple hours later she was gone. We have no idea why. ![]() Good bye Rue. We loved you.

Finally

Kenny, add my condolances. Birds are so fragile. They look OK until they're very, very ill. It's almost impossible to tell that they are sick. I am so sorry for you and Jose. ::hugs:: |

Thank you everyone. ![]() It was so sudden. I thought I knew a lot about birds, their needs for companionship, food and environment. She got the best of everything. I didn't even notice any difference in the early indicators, eating habits, droppings or mood. It is perplexing. They are so dependent on us I feel responsible for her demise, and it is very frustrating having no clue what caused it. Right now I don't think there will be another bird in our future. It hurts too much when they pass. |

Kenny, It is very easy to blame yourself when you are caretaker of another living being. You did nothing wrong. Like you said! "She got the best of everything". Maybe it was just meant to be. Such a sudden death could have been due to any number of prenatal/genetic or just bad luck health conditions such as an aneurysm or something similar. I know you hurt and that is natural. I hurt for you. Please don't blame yourselves for this. You are good parents. |

Sorry kenny - losing an animal is rough, because you get so attached to it from the second you get it. |
