Had a rough day yesterday. One of my birds, Goldie, died. As tough as that is for me, my other birds are taking it even harder. Minnie, the lovebird is devestated. And Jake looked really bad. I thought he was going to be the next to go, he looked so rough last night.

He was not secured in his cage when Goldie passed, and got into all kinds of stuff in the room - he has never done that before, but maybe in his grief he wasn't thinking right. People do self-destructive things when someone they love dies, and I suppose birds may, too.

Well, he was bobbing, shaking, not pooping, weak.

I hand fed him about every hour through the day, and he seems to be coming around. I told all of them they needed to take care of themselves and help one another through this.

Minnie still closes her eyes and rocks back and forth - I swear, if you could see her, it looks like she's crying. It's heartbreaking. All night (I couldn't sleep) I could hear her making the saddest sounds, and Jesse calling back "Sweetie, sweetie" as if to comfort her.
