Parakeet Question

I'm so sorry Felicia. The last one is in my prayers, I hope she is OK.

I'm sorry too. Keets are such adorable little birds.

Can you air the house out really well and put the last one outside for a few hours, in shade, of course. I'm not sure if that would do any good at this point, but it might. I hope that one is okay.

It's a new, flat top stove, so I'm not sure what it has/doesn't have. This happened last night, and so I spent today researching. He's been at work and I've been here at my house, so as soon as one of us is there, I think putting her outside and airing the house out is the best option. Thanks everyone <3

I used to own parakeets, never had one die on me. However, when I returned to college, I re homed it. When I graduated and moved into my own home, I , also had parrots for a time, before health issues forced me to re-home them, too. I no longer will keep birds because I hated having to let them go.

The point of this all was that I did a lot of research before bringing these animals into my home, and as people have mentioned...a lot of things can cause death.

Here is a list of some common household items that are toxic:

A little research may pinpoint your particular issue as I have no clue what you have in your home, and what you don't.

Sorry to hear of the little fellows passing. Good luck!
