Today i woke up to find me Bird dead in his cage. i'm not quite sure what happened seeing as he seemed ok yesterday. I'm thinking that my house might have been too hot for him lately. regardless i'm pretty upset.
Hmm. Did you use any cleaning products or do you use Teflon cookware?
Actually while I cooked yesterday I had the door open and put him in the bedroom (the furthest I could put him). He was cleaned over 3 days ago. He was injured when the guy who caught him handled him and I think he got an infection from a broken wing and just slowly passed away.
Trust me, I took as much precaution w/ him as possible. I won't even handle him until after I shower when I clean. He was fine at 11 last night but at 4 this morning he wasn't. I just miss him so much because the other day he was screaming and Shane took a blanket and said "One more scream and you're going night-night". Which meant he was going to cover the cage w/ the blanket. Wings waited for Shane to sit down and put his wings out and just let out one big scream. Shane said it was his version of saying, "Come at me bro".
I'm not an expert by any means but I know enough to say the guy who handled him really hurt him because he had a problem w/ his wing and lately it was really bothering him. I regret waiting till payday to take him to a vet but it was probably too late anyways.

I have a double yellow head amazon so I know a little about taking care of birds.
