Poor thing! I am sorry to hear about you new little one.
I think maybe you should find a new place to buy birds from.

Judy, so sad this is happening. Perhaps you should wait until after your move to get another bird. The stress of the move may affect them.

I told the pet store bird expert. Now she's panicking because she took home a bird a few weeks ago! No more Petland birds! She's not buying any more either.

I found a breeder who is still getting eggs hatching. I don't know if the birds will be old enough to take home before I move.

Marilyn, I didn't think of the stress of the trip. Maybe I will wait. There are some bird rescue places upstate. Maybe if I get a bird that was strong enough to survive whatever it had to be rescued from, it will stay alive in my house!

Judy, I'm so sorry you've had such a tough time with your birds!
I hope things improve for yu after the move so you can enjoy your critters without all the worry.

Hi Judy. I'm very sorry about your bird. What kind of bird was he or she? I have an umbrella cockatoo. I had always wanted one and for my 20th wedding anniversary my husband took me for a long drive where we pulled up to a house and I had not idea but he did. LOL. Out came Boo who proceeded to pull my sunglasses up and say hello. She's a little over 2 now. PLEASE DO NOT BUY a bird. I learned about buying and would never do it again. PLEASE got to a parrot/bird rescue. Just like puppy mills there are bird mills and this is why your little one was sick. Pet Stores get their birds from mills just as they do dogs. The bird mills are just as bad or worse then puppy mills. I hope you find a new healthy baby. Elaine

I'm sorry about the new bird! I wonder if there could be some type of bug/virus in your cage that Skye is resistent to but it making the new birds sick.

Judy, I'm sorry you had to put Summer down. Your post is such a sad story. It makes me wonder about what the Vet said....about Skye eathing most of the food. Maybe that's what happened to the others...they just got weak and passed.

I t does sound like a good idea to wait until after you move to get another one. How much longer till you move? I hope Skye won't be too lonely until then.

All you wanted was to hear their beautiful songs....and you've had to endure all this. I'm sorry girlfriend.
