hi, well just yesterday, my budgie died. and a week ago, while it was in my hands, i saw that where the lower beak should be connected to the body, there was a gap, seperating the two. now is that normal with budgies? i was just wandering. thnx in advance :)
Additional info, added Saturday June 3 2006, 7:55 am: oh i got the bird in march of this year, and the woman at the store said that all the birds were 3-4 months old.. Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category? Maybe give some free advice about: Pets? isis answered Saturday June 3 2006, 4:26 am: No it is not normal, it sounds as though it damaged it's beak, possibly preventing it from being able to eat. Although there could also have been something else wrong with it causing it to fall and the damage to occur. You don't say how old the bird was, but if it was getting on, it may have been this that caused it, eg. miss it's footing, fall off the perch whilst sleeping, knock its beak into the bars etc.
Hope that helps. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]
