...had a little parrot adventure yesterday. Posted a longish story in the OT section and would be interested in your thoughts as to what "happened" to Petey the Parrot.

i remember looking at what they need if you owned one and one big thing was steady temps, if it was outside the night before that may have caused it, i think it was high 30/ low 40 out.

yeah. it was mid 60s when we caught him. but he seemed healthy. i put a warming pad under the cage like they recommended. he was fine before that but a few hours later.....
well.

who knows. the vet said they can look perfectly healthy one minute and keel over the next.

just too bad. it has to have been local, because it's wings were clipped and it couldn't fly far. you know how small my neighborhood is. i really thought we had a great chance at reuniting it with its owner
