My budgie was just over a year old. A friend was helping me cut his nails and he died in my hands. We were being careful, so i don't understand what happened. Could the stress of it caused his death?

I'm so sorry for you, how awful, fly high little one. I know they can die of stress or he could have been unwell. They hide their illnesses so very well. I had a budgie for two days a couple of weeks ago and he died in my hands too. It's so upsetting.

My avian vet told me he had a Budgie die while trimming its nails so it can happen even in the most experienced hands. Condolences x

I'm so sorry that you lost your budgie. Yes, they can get stressed, especially if ill or old.

Some just do not like being held.
