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!

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

We usually keep the house bewteen 70 and 73 and ours do ok. As long as they aren't in the direct path of the cool air they should be ok. When the cockatiel sleeps he will puff himself up and the room he stays in is slightly warmer. I hope you have better luck with your new one.

I moved them to a spot in the foyer that's nice and warm. Skye looks unpuffed, but I know they like when we're all in the living room.
When I move, I'll set them up so they can be with us and still be warm. Thanks! You may have saved their lives! I didn't know about the a/c.

I'm so sorry Judy! I'm glad you've decided to change names with the new one lol. I had Chester the goldfish and he died within a couple months. Then I got Chester II the goldfish and he died within a month. Then I got Chester III the hamster and he was the meanest, angriest hamster I've ever seen. He also would climb to the top of his cage and drop himself headfirst into his foodbowl. I have a feeling poor Chester III had some mental issues, and after a few months he stopped eating and also died =/ My next pet was Layla the yorkie and I am very glad I didn't name her Chester!

Fiona Sunshine 11 died today
So sorry.
I have parrots and know that you can't spray anything that has fumes in it, bug spray, air freshners, even oven cleaner, and also the draft.
