Hi all  I lost my beautiful Davey of 10-11 years last night. We think it was old age, but I just want to check. When we went to cover up the birds I found Davey on the bottom of the aviary, unable to get up. He was walking as if he lost his balance  I got in the aviary and put him back ( He didn't care that I picked him up and he normally does) on a low branch but he kept wobbling so we put him in a smaller cage in the shed, with food and water. Is it possible that it was just of old age? Or when he fell could he have hit his head causing him to lose his balance? Thanks in Advance, Nicola |

Hello Sadly that's the way most most captive birds pass on.
At least he had a happy life with you.....B.J.

Nicola, didn't Davey have a problem before? You were looking for a ladder or something to help him get around? Sorry, I just can't remember what it was.
I suggest don't try to analyse his death too much - he lived a lot longer than many of our budgies get a chance to, so make the most of that. You obviously cared for him well.

He did have a little problem:) He was a bit fat and not a good flyer so thats why I wanted to get him a ladder I know. He was one lucky budgie. He had a great home and life. Nicola |

Nicola Overweight and age are not a good combination - in budgie or human.  He may have move on fat, but I bet he moved on fat and happy. Chin up, chick. |

Thanks hezz He was much more overweight before we got an aviary. That probably helped him live a little longer Nicola |

Sorry to hear about Davey. He had a good long life and I'm sure he enjoyed your care right up to the TLC right at the end. Xx
