Sad News

[William]

I have sad news about the baby conure that was in very poor conditions. It died a few minutes ago. It seemed to get stronger but then the head just dropped and it died. I don't know if it perhaps didn't have the strength to keep its head up and broken its neck when the head fell. The neck was just the bone with extremely little muscle. The bone was protruding more then a 5mm in its neck which says something about how thin it was.

Its health condition was very much worse then I first expected. Besides the leg problem and malnutrition it also had a severe fungal infection that I discovered yesterday night after having smelled it. Its skin was like glass in some places. It was also unnatural quite. It didn't make a chirp during its time here.

I had high hopes that it was recover as it was eating but it seems in the end it was just to far gone.

Sorry to here the bad news. I'm sure you did the best you could

[rich311k]

I am sorry, William. I know you did everything you could.

[MonkeyPox]

Sorry to hear that William.

[Crispy]

you did the best you could... you can't win all the battles... :blueglow:

Sorry, William...Sometimes, when there's too many problems, it's best for the bird or any animal, including us, to just pass quietly...

[Paw Broon]

Sorry to hear that William, it did look really poorly in the pics but good on you for trying

[Gayle]

Awe William I am so sorry to hear that. It was probably for the best, he looked very sick. I am sure his last few hours were great there with you, it proably gave him peace.

[William]

Yes. atleast he didn't go hungry its last day. It makes me even more motivated to check out the word I got that there are 4 more in the same home.

[Kaz]

Good luck with the other one.

[William]

The other one is in much much better condition and I would be very suprised if that one doesn't recover.

[Gayle]

If there are four more, I would certainly try to go rescue them, before they end up the same way.

[HorrorShowRot]

Poor birdy :( We will miss you

[mrs fishpatrick]

so sorry William

[Hailey]

Oh thats so sad! Im sure he had a great rest of his life being with you though! Thats the best thing you could have done for him!:innocent:

[Wild Turkey]

Sorry to hear this will:11:

At least you gave it a shot, thats more than most would have

[smaug]

Losin an animal is always heart wrenching,Im very sorry for the ordeal.

[William]

I am okay. It was too sick looking for me to allow myself to get attached to it. But it very sad none the less and I feel sorry for him or her.

[Oscar_freak12321]

Very sorry to hear. Sounds like it was a surprising blow as you said he seemed to be getting stronger.

[fraggle]

It is sad Will. Very sorry to hear it. I think checking out the other 4 might be a good idea, they might not be as wasted away as what this little one was and they may live good long life with you!

[William]

It was. Especially since he died suddenly. Just collapsed. But it isn't really suprising his general condition.

But I will look forward and tomorrow I will try to find out if there are 4 more risking the same fate or if the info is bad.

[Kaz]

See the post I made in the other thread Will.
