I finished work early today and found Arthur breathing heavily with wings open on the floor of the aviary. Brought him inside and I think he's had a stroke. He died as I was getting him some water. I'd sat with him and sprinkled seed. When I held him he tried to bite so I realised my hand was of no comfort so put him back on the soft towel I had on the bottom of the cage. His feet worked, they gripped my finger, but he could not stand up, wobbled forward so he was laying down. God it was just awful. The 10 seconds I ran to the bathroom to fill a shallow lid up with water for him and he passed. I have 7 at the moment with ailments, but again, it is the ones who appear fit and healthy who seem to go first.

I'm so sorry that you lost Arthur. I know you gave him the best life you could.
It's hard when so many have ailments, a few of mine do too. We can only do our best.
Hugs xx

Thank you all.
Its just such a shock, its bad enough when they are ill and you are expecting it but to just see him on the floor dying. Took my breath away.
Stanley, his brother and best friend, is doing okay which I'm grateful for. When a bud goes to rainbow Bridge if they are paired up I always worry about the remaining one, but Stanley seems to be getting on with things.

Funny how they sense things though. .

I am so sorry, clt80. If it is any consolation, at least he didn't suffer for any length of time. I'm relieved for you that Stanley is doing okay. xx Rest in Peace, little Arthur.
