This was Freddie. I got him in February of 2010. I sent my other budgie, Miley to my girlfriend's house for six months while I tamed/trained Freddie. I brought Miley back and they got along great. Unfortunately, I didn't realize Freddie was eating a lot! I took him to the pet shop after he passed, and they said he had diarrhea. He was only here a short time, but he is still missed.

Its always hard to lose a friend, im sorry for your loss.

sorry this happened to me as well but whith my hand tamed cockatiel

I am sorry you lost your little one.

 

Can I add, and it is in no way meant to diminish your loss, that taking a sick bird to a petshop is like taking balding man to the hairdresser, they can offer an opinion, but surely a recognised medical professional would be much better - like an avian vet.

 

In saying that, birds are highly skilled in hiding illness and injuries so for most people by the time sickness is realised it is to late.

 

I am sorry for your loss and I know the loss of a dear pet is hard to get over, but I am sure that when you are feeling better, you may look at finding a new little feathered friend to become part of you life.
