My cockatiel of 11 months, Comet, died suddenly last night.
It's really bothering me because he showed no signs of illness until the day he passed. For the rest of the day he seemed ok. He played with his toys, had a few bird conversations with people, ate and drank...it wasn't until later in the night he was out of breath, but continued playing with toys, and even ate a little. About an hour later I go to check on him, and he's really gasping for air, and he's about to fall off his perch.
I took him out and held him, he started making gagging noises, and his tongue looked out of place. He didn't last much longer after that, and he died in my hands.
Just ordered him new toys and food from Fosters and Smith last week
I moved recently so I may wait for quite a while.
RIP Comet

I am sorry for your loss. Sometimes we can't get an explanation onto why things happens. The only thing you can do is think of all the good times and how much of a good life he had lived.
