oh god
Willow took kids out to play in the fields and came back, then i heard hysterical screaming. Poor Muffin is laid flat on her back at bottom of cage with peaches, her mom trying to pick her back up
we have no clue as to whats happened, Muffin was perfectly healthy, even before willow went out the birds were all fine
the girls are all heartbroken screaming for muffin and i dont know what to say or do. If Muffin had been ill i could have said she was ill..but this
I had to quickly bury poor muffin in the garden as the kids were hysterical. Muffin was one of the favourites as she was peaches and skys baby that we kept and she was a very lively bird. when sky flew away (for those that remember) peaches bonded up with Muffin her daughter despite introducing new friends, peaches and muffin just wouldnt be seperated. now willow is going mental as wondering how peaches is going to cope without muffin as she already lost sky. to see peaches trying to pick muffin up then laid down on her as to try to keep her warm was honestly the worst thing i think ive seen, It was heartbreaking
the other birds are all healthy as anything, but so was Muffin
I dont know what to do now, I know ive got a cold and they can catch that etc but ive dleiberately not been in the room with them so it cant be that, plus even though they mask symptoms well, you cannot go from a plump happy singing bird to a dead one in 30minutes, its impossible.
(muffin is the green , peach face at front...peaches is to the left)
RIP Muffin
