I feel really blessed theres people that are being so understanding. I told a friend today who didn't really get why I was so upset! Thank you for all your kind words, and of course advice. I will be doing lots more reading tonight on the threads required! I really hope its not illness because if Jake gets poorly too ill be really really gutted and to be honest may not want to continue the idea of being a budgie owner. I don't want to be a drama queen but the noise that wee Finny boy made today was just terrible. I do not want to hear that again. Looking at the picture of your poor baby, in hindsight, he doesn't look too good. The fact he is sat on the bottom of the cage says a lot. Most budgies don't tend to sit on the bottom unless ill. So he was not in good shape when you got him. If Jake get sick too it will be something wrong with the breeders birds and not your fault. I wouldn't let it put you off, it's not common for it to happen like this.

Well the breeder told me not to worry and these things can happen. He thinks the bird maybe fell during the night? Ive no idea, like you know im new to this so I hope to learn a lot more and educate myself so I know what to look for etc in my wee friends in order to keep them safe. Ive got Jake a new companion. Beemo. Yes the names are off a cartoon for those of you who have children hehe. I am going to bury Finn tomoz and have a special place for him in the garden. I really feel on edge tonight. Everytime the birds move or make a sound im watching them like a hawk! Its just been a wee bit of a shock. So much has happened in such a short space of time. My 3 yr old is not best pleased though....Hopefuly that will pass in a few days. But hes upstairs rather than spending time with our new friend. Think hes really sad about it too Hopefully from tonight I will be a happy budgie owner and my boys will be just fine!

Look forward to meeting Beemo. Your son will fall in love with Beemo once he sees him. Naturally, he is sad about Finn.

Beemo is lovely and possibly a hen. Can't see properly but looks that way. If it's a cinnamon then the chances are it is a hen. Again the picture is too dark to see her true colour clearly. I see you have some lovely toys too. Fun choosing isn't it?

Im just glad we have Beemo as its helping me so much to get the drama from this morning out of my head. Not looking forward to tomorrow, putting Finn to rest. But it helps even more being on this forum on getting great support and advice. Thanks a lot guys!

Don't get the electric knife though....
It's so sad re tomorrow but Finn had your love for his short time with you. Glad Jake has his new pal - male or female.
