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!!

awww, I'm so sorry to hear about FSI and II. I've never had birds, so I can't give you any advice. We have a hard time keeping hamsters alive here!

So sorry to hear about this!!
I have finches and so far so good. Very easy to care for.

I was wondering.. by chance is cage near air conditioner? They cannot toterate a cold draft. When you said the other one is molting and puffed up I thought maybe a draft? They puff up when cold. Mine have never puffed up because of molting. They just drop feathers.

Good luck with the new addition. She sounds beautiful!

Oh no! I'm so sorry Judy! I don't know much about birds, but I sure hope you can figure out what happened!

There is an a/c in the room. Should I move them, or cover the cage?

How are the finches songs? I'm going to get a canary when I move. I already have another cage.
