You don't know why? Well, because this grey was a much loved member of your family and he died. :icon_frow I am so sorry you lost your friend. He was lucky to find a nice warm home that would take him in and love him so well.

That is so hard. The only way to know why is to have a postmortem done by the vet. Since you have another bird in your home, this is probably a very good idea to have done. I'm so sorry for your loss!

i too am sorry for your loss....What state did you find the grey?
Seems to be so many lost greys lately.....
I help reunite greys and thier families...I have about a list of 20 people looking and hoping to find thier babies.....Most do not end up happily.

I have a friend in MA that has been missing her grey for over a year. She has found many others but never hers. :( He was lost in Framingham.

I'm really sorry for your loss. I know it can be really hard, especially when you grow so attached. I would, however, follow the advise of Willow and get him checked to find out the cause of his death. Especially since you have another bird. You don't want him to die, too (sorry to sound so negative).

good luck
