Hi fellow bird crazies, I hate to be a downer in such a new thread, but yesterday my almost 3 year old budgie passed away rather suddenly. He was fluffed up at the base of his cage being very non-responsive when I took off his cage cover in the morning. I high-tailed it to the vet keeping him warm the whole way and chatting to him, but he passed as she was examining him. She told me he lost a lot of blood from his mouth after he passed, and after looking inside him she thinks he must have had a pulmonary embolism or something. I'm torn between whether there was something I could have done to save him or not. He was so young I feel like this shouldn't have happened. Does anyone have any advice or know of anything like this happening before? I bought him shortly after moving away to grad school and he was my baby. I also have a two year old conure so I worry that if my budgie was sick my conure could be sick too. But the vet said it is unlikely...

I gets pretty cold in my apartment and I want to make a new, warmer cage cover for my conure. I was thinking flannel but my grandma suggested something thinner lest there isn't enough air flow.

doctorfrog posted:I just lost my budgie Pancake to a respiratory infection Not a breeder per say but I got my CGC conure from Julie's Birds and Boarding in Campbell. The woman who runs the place is lovely and boarded my little guy for two months when I was between apartments a while back. She doesn't sell budgies though, only cockatiels, conures, etc. http://juliesbirds.com/
