I'm desperately sorry that this has happened to you Becca. It's very upsetting. I so wish this all had all been different, but sometimes the little ones are just not strong enough. Rest in peace, sweet baby Milo. We're all crying with you here.

I'm so, so sorry Becca. Remember though that Milo had the very best final few days he (or any bud) could have wished for in his too short life. He was loved & cared for & I'm sure he would have known that. You did your very best for him. You must feel so raw, it's too unfair it happening so soon after Minty & when you'd only just begun to get to know him. Thinking of you x

Oh no! So so sorry. Poor Milo and you. He had you though when he was feeling poorly and he felt loved. RIP Milo

Rest in Peace, sweet gentle Milo. You left us much too soon. Becca, I am so sorry for your loss. So very sad, but you gave Milo what he needed most, all your love. Please do not give up on budgies. Another little one will come along, needing your love and good care. Hugs to you

This is one of the times when I badly wish I had been wrong. I am so sorry for you Becca, and for poor little Milo who simply didn't really have a chance. Don't allow yourself to forget the 10 happy years you had with Minty, and believe me, no budgie gets to 10 years of age without a good loving home. Rest in Peace, dear little Milo; I know you and Minty are going to be great friends.

So, so sad you have lost little Milo. You gave him all your love in his short life. Don't think you are cursed. Hard as it may be may I suggest giving the cage and all the equipment a very good clean and disinfect. It's just the mention of mites and I think they would still be present and would infect any future budgie that you house in it. Sorry to seem so hard, I am just thinking of you.

oh no so sorry...as every one else has said in no way at all was it your fault its just some times thins happen which are out of our control and no matter how much we do there would be no way to change the out come it just so happens this is one of those very sad situations that in no way you could have made better.....As Hezz says,minty lived a long wonderful life with you and to have him for 10 years says something about the care and love you gave him so please do not blame your self now for tthis as you could not have done any more xx

I wish I wasn't having to write this but sadly Milo was put to sleep this afternoon the vet could feel an internal tumour of some sort but also he was very underweight and the bone on his breast was sticking out a lot due to not putting on any weight (despite eating) he said he was a v poorly budgie and he also had mites, I'm v upset at the moment so may not post for a while. I feel like I may be cursed he had been sleeping a lot on and off too so he clearly wasn't 'right', I just feel so, so bad. I can't even put in to words how I feel right now. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss so soon after minty! Strangely enough I had a similar experience before I got Sid and Mischief, I had one budgie for 9 1/2 years, then three one after another & in a short space of time who all died on me and they weren't all bought from the same place! I do hope this doesn't put you off having another one when you feel able.
