Posted June 29, 200916 yr My male budgie, Chicken died last night. He had only been with us for a few months but I loved him dearly. He was such a sweetheart and I will greatly miss him preening my hair and his happy chirping. His friend, Effie, has been very lonely today. She was calling out to Chicken trying to work out where he was and the longer he didn't respond the louder she called. It was really awful to watch. I am heartbroken. RIP Chicken. xx
June 29, 200916 yr Hugs, I can understand where you are coming from the same thing happened to me when Pretty died suddenly leaving Merlin the sole budgie. He has remained the sole budgie and has done very well. They will call for a couple days but what you will find is if you leave him the sole budgie that he will come around and start to bond with you more. If not and you decide to get another budgie do make sure you do a 30 day quarantine. Hugs.
June 29, 200916 yr Author Thanks everyone for the lovely replies, it was a hard day yesterday but having people that understand really helps. We have come to the conclusion that Chicken died from stress related illnesses. We had to move them both to my mothers house for a few days and I have read that a move like this can put stress on budgies and bring out sickness. I can't see what else it could have been. I am going to get a new budgie, hopefully today. My housemates and I just feel like Effie needs some budgie companionship and we don't want her to be alone while we are at work. I have a new cage and suitable spot in the house for a months quarantine- hopefully tonight I'll come home with a new baby to love. I'll put pictures up asap of course! Thanks again
