Our parakeet seemed to go completely blind a few days ago. Shortly after, She just seemed to go nuts. Flipping around the bottom of the cage and just out of control.
Then yesterday she just died.:sad3:
Just curious if anyone knows what could have caused this.

Thanks for any help, Hetfield.

I have no idea what could have caused something like that, [though it does almost sound like a siezure but I'm no expert], but I am so very sorry to hear about your little one. It's never easy to lose a little one. You'll be in my thoughts.

I don't know, either, but I am sorry to hear this. I had a cat do something similar once, and he was hardly more than a kitten at the time, and it's awful to watch. Makes you feel helpless. The others are probably right and it was a stroke.

So sorry for your loss......what a difficult thing to witness too. My guess would be a stroke or seizure too if not then possibly a tumor pressing on nerves maybe the optic nerve.
I really feel for you.

Oh no :( I am so sorry that your budgie had to pass on like that. :ohno: I'm not really sure what could have caused it. I had a budgie that had a nervous system disease, and he had seizures and then died suddenly as well. Your budgie may have had the same thing...

RIP little budgie- Fly high to Rainbow Bridge.
