We've already put Marty to rest. So no to an autospy. I know the next bird will be fed to the letter, and every precaution made. Dave is doing OK. He has a very tender heart and we had tears together. But, he believes as I do, that God has a purpose in this. I've already met you and others on this s...

Marty had not recently gotten onto the floor. I watch him very closely as I have two dachshunds. I do use 409 to spot clean his poopies on the floor, but have done this for months. I use the vaccum around his cage, nearly daily. Nothing different in his diet. My husband tended to give him more bread...

Mikeala, Marty was hatched April 1st. So, he was only 6 months old -- just a baby. I would be most interested if you come up with any ideas about his illness. I'm hesitating about wanting another bird right now. But, with time I know that will change. Thank you again for such sweet support.

What a comfort to open this site this morning and know that you folks are so caring. Marty was gone when I got home. I dreaded walking in the door, but in my heart knew he'd flown to the "rainbow bridge" to wait for me. We have a little pet cemetery, as we live in the country, so put Marty beside my...

For a number of reasons, I can't get Marty to a vet til later this afternoon. I'm at work now. If he's alive, I'm taking him to a vet I found in Cedar Park, TX. Yes, his feet were cold and he would not grasp my finger. I'm grieving as I feel he is gone. Appreciate your advice. This illness came on s...

Monday Marty was quieter than usual, but otherwise acted fine, eating, etc. Got home last night, Marty all fluffed out, sitting on the cage bottom, with eyes mostly closed and not moving. Alarm. Picked him up and he had no control of balance, especially on one side, and seemed flaccid all over. Crop...

Marty is only about 3 1/2 months, but doesn't have any interest in cracking nuts or even eating them when I shell them. How long before a ringneck is able to shell their nuts and what is their favorite? Are there any nuts or seeds to avoid? Marty eats Zupreem very well and will try a few vegetables ...

Thank you, Mikaela. I've left him uncovered the past couple of nights and he seems to rest just fine.

I have a 3 month old, Marty, who has a very calm, sweet disposition. I also have two canaries. I've always covered by canaries at night. Should I cover Marty? When I start to place his blanket on the cage, he tends to act aggressive toward it, so maybe he's still a bit scared or just doesn't like co...
