Snoopy

I'm sorry to hear that.  小

Snoopy

牠是那種雀鳥？

Snoopy

你養了牠多少年？怎樣飼養？平時給牠吃甚麼和水源？

Snoopy

我可杏用英文，這比較容易發問和表違？

Snoopy

ok, first of all, did you just feed pellets as the main diet for your budgie?  2)  Which type of water did you give him....tap/boiled/spring bottled water?  3) What type of cage did you use?  Is it powder coated?  4)  What kind of veggies did you give him and how did you rinse them before giving it to him?  5)  Did he show any symptoms like neck stretching/spitting the seed out?  6) When you said "蛋白雀", what is it actually?

Snoopy

ok...about the diet...too much protein is very harmful to budgies (the same should be applied to other types of birds also).  Since you fed pellets which has a high level of protein already (that's why I don't feed any pellets), the extra 蛋白糧 should be omitted.  High protein level would lead to different kinds of health problem like causing tumor, heart disease etc.  So if you really want to feed pellets, just give it as a treat sporadically, and remember those commercial seed products contain high level of protein and preservatives also which is harmful.

About boiled water, did you use any filter on the tap cos if the water pipes are old in your building, the water that you got from the tap would have heavy metal in it which you couldn't get rid of it even if you boiled.  This could be one of the reasons why some of the birds died all of a sudden because their neurological system was affected by the heavy metal.  Since I don't trust my tap water so I use the bottled type spring water for JJ.

About veggies, what types did you give?  Not all kinds of veggies could be fed to birds especially budgies, and you have to use Apple Cider Vinegar (organic is better) and dilute it with water to soak and rinse the veggie before giving it to the bird.  This is to get rid of the pesticides on the veggies.

Now come the cage, if it is not powder coated, the chance of getting heavy metal poisoning is high as budgie likes to chew things, so you can see some parts of the cage had been chipped off and so the non powder coated one is definitely not advisable for birds.

Can you think of any other slightest symptom that your budgie might have that you forgot to tell me?

Snoopy

so may be it's not heavy  metal poisoning.  Are you using the non-stick pan for cooking?  Any plants in your house that your budgie could be accessible to them?  Anybody smoke /using perfume or detergent etc that would give out strong smell?

Snoopy

yes, it's my darling budgie...JJ.  He's a dominant pied with a blue sky coloured tummy.  He's very playful and talkative.....knew how to say quite a number of words already.

BTW, remember your budgie was the smallest type among the group that you are having, so he's more prone to danger/health problem as compared with the rest of your folks.  Always play safe when keeping house birds, check if there's any potential danger that would affter the health of them in both short/long term.

Snoopy

And if he got hurt that time, he would have shown some symtoms...right?

Snoopy

Did you clip his wings?

Snoopy

Just teach him....well of course it takes time and lots of patience, but once he got the hang of it and started to say the first word, then it would be a piece of cake for him to learn and say more words.  I could teach you how if you want to learn...

Snoopy

Can cockatiel talk also?  Are you sure?  If yes, then I think the same method could be applied to it.

Snoopy

Let me check this out for you and come back to you later.

Snoopy

ok...if Cockatiel could talk or not....

There is slim to no chance at all with a male and just forget it with the female, its as rare as a swimming pool in a desert...and i don't mean at a resort.  You could find a cockatiel talk one in a hundred thousand but well.....to each their own...if you want to try your luck.

And yes, birds can get injured from banging into something and not show it then just die due to internal bleeding and injuries to organs tearing.  And too much protein....bad water...and .birds can also be carriers of something and never show sick but pass things on..these could all be the culprit for the death of a bird.  Since it's just too months old, the budgie hadn't been eating long enough of the pellets so it must be something else like the egg powder mix and the above that I just mentioned.

Snoopy

lam_ot, did you clip the keet's wings?

Snoopy

That's why I'm try to find out the answer for her......

Snoopy

Then how and why did he drop on the floor.....and was it from a high level?

Snoopy

well....if you really meant it slided down on the floor, it shouldn't have hurt much, and if he didn't get hurt at all, then mostly he died because of his diet/water or anything in the house that you didn't notice that is posing danger to the bird.

Snoopy

ok...I need to ask more questions but since I got something to do now, I'll get back to you asap, alright?

Snoopy

Remember, any bird can die all of a sudden without showing any symptoms, and if there's any, we might have neglect it also. So pls. answer me the following questions:

1)  How many months old was the keet when you got him, you said it's as small as a rice, do you mean you got him when he's just hatched?
2)  Do you have any house plant?
3) Any other kinds of pets besides the lovebird and the cockatiel?
4) Are you using non stick cooking ware?
5) Did you let the keet out only when you were with him?
6) Did he fly into something before?
7) How did his poops look like?  Was it normal?  Pls. give me details.
8) Chemicals used in house for cleaning or air fresheners, scented candles?
9) Teflon or any non stick coated surfaces such as heaters or hair dryers?
10)  Besides choy sum and kale, did you feed him other kinds of veggies?  Any kind of fruits?
11)  What about toys?  

Now I need you to answer all of the above questions carefully and in detail pls.
water ..metal...toys and toxic paints on them...the list is endless...
