Fiona Sunshine II died today!

I must be the worst bird owner in the world! I took the cover of their cage this morning and they were both fine. Skye is molting, so she's all puffed up. I looked over at the cage and didn't see FS. Sure enough, she was gone. I took her out and went right over to the pet store to buy another one, who I'm not naming FSIII!

She's a beautiful deep violet and looks so tiny next to Skye. I hope they both live a long time! I don't know what happened to both Fionas. i'm going to have to do some research about keeping your parakeets alive.

I still miss FSI! Now I'll miss them both. That's what happens with such tiny, delicate pets I guess.

Any advice?

So sorry about FSII. I'm no help with birds. The only one we had, a cockateal (sp?), died. We would put her cage on the back porch in the evenings because she would get noisy and bother hubby. One night we forgot to bring her in and a cat or something pulled on of her wings off. It was horrible. We took her to the vet the next moring, and he patched her up, but she went into shock or something and died.

Don't know much about birds at all. Sorry you lost another one. Do you think Skye has anything to do with it? Can birds look guilty?

I just wonder if they were fighting. The same thing happened with my MIL's parakeets. She put 2 in the same cage and they were fine for a while and then one just died. I have had a parakeet by himself for 3 years and he goes just nuts when he sees or is able to get near my daughter's female cockatiel. He will make her regurgitate her food so he can eat. We had to seperate them because he is so crazy. To bad you don't live closer because you could take mine.I hope you ahve better luck this time.

Judy i'm so sorry to read this!!

They very fragile. I wish i had some advice for you, maybe you can check out a bird forum or something so you can ask what it could have been.

Good luck with your new one!!
