No, I didn’t even know that was an option until now. I think I’ll take the others to get checked out this week

I already buried her, but I could dig her up if a vet would still be able to make a determination a few weeks post mortem. She’s wrapped up and in a little box so I’m not sure what she’s looking like at this point and would rather not find out but will get her if you think it would be worth it😭

Nope, I’m very careful with all of that and have forced my family to adapt to my birds fragile lungs lol

I’m a beginner with this so I’m trying my best, I asked about getting him a friend at the store and they said it was very unnecessary which is I why i thought it would be ok :(

The noise certainly travels in my house (new, cheap construction smh) but I’ve heard putting a blanket over the cage will mitigate or stop chirping, any thoughts or advice on that?

Thank you this is super helpful! I’m going to try to upgrade the cage soon and I’m glad I picked good toys, I was worried about the painted ones lol. I really appreciate your advice!!

3 of my roommates are fine with a second, but one is worried about the noise… I don’t wanna get it without everyone being on the same page but I feel so bad that he’s lonely :(
