Judy, I'm a little dense when it comes to birds because I've always been afraid of them, but do you take pet birds to a Vet or anything? Do they need vaccinations or when you can tell they don't feel good, can you take them to a Vet?

I'll be very honest - she was lying there, looking dead, but you never know.
The thought crossed my mind "What if she moves when I touch her to take her out of the cage? Do I rush her to the vet? "

I guess I would have had to - what else do you do with an almost dead bird?
It's just wrong not to treat it somehow.

I'm sorry Fiona - but I'm laughing - You would have cost me who knows what, and then died anyway. (Birds are very fragile).

I saw someone walk into The Animal Medical Center, a huge animal hospital in the city, with a turtle!

Judy, I'm so sorry to hear that Fiona died. That's so sad Poor Skye. He's probably wondering where his friend went to.

Poor Fiona!
I'm sorry... she was SO pretty!
I hope you have much better luck with the next one!

oh, I'm so sorry to hear this! We once took a hamster to the vet! But Sunny was 7 years old and acted more like a puppy. He used to go in my shirt pocket and I would go places with him in there. His little head would peek out! It was very sad when he died.

It doesn't matter what it is, when you love something it hurts to lose them. I hope you feel better soon.
