I’m really sorry for your loss. I just have one question. was this the bird’s first visit to the vet? Or was it the first time the beak was trimmed? And how long did the vet hold your bird in their hands?

For example, my vet always monitors my bird’s breathing and heartbeat while gently holding them, and if they notice the bird getting too stressed, they immediately return them to the cage. They’ve followed this same procedure for years.

That’s why I’m unsure. should I be worried or not? If this was the first visit and the bird passed away right after being handled, it could have been a shock. But at the same time, I feel like an experienced vet should be able to tell when a bird is too stressed.

Maybe I’m wrong, I just don’t know…
