Sick love bird, that died? any ideas, i dont want my other ones getting sick. (Symptoms listed below)?
she lost alot of feathers, down feathers. Over the weekend my housemate spotted her on the ground (they live in an aviary) sitting in the the rain. all the birds often spend time on the ground, stripping the grass for nesting material and picking up seed so i didn’t give it a second thought.
someone suggested she was egg bound, there is two nesting boxes in the aviary, one already has a bird and her 4eggs in it, the other box seems to be abandoned, as every time i add nesting material too it they pull it out and put it in the other one (so i gave up)
they were treated for worms about 2mths ago.
there was four love birds (3female, one male) and 2 cockatiels (both male) that live in the aviary, its about 3×1.5×2.5m. fairly big, and they have lived in it together since january, before that they all lived in cages (cockatiels in one, two love birds in two separate cages)
any ideas? i just dont want my other birds getting sick.
i’ve never seen them fight, ever, not even over the eggs or boxes
and in the last 24hrs she died, i check them in the mornings and i found her at the bottom of the cage this morning.

Can someone please translate The Passionate Shepherd to His Love?
1Come live with me and be my love,
2And we will all the pleasures prove,
3That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
4Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
5And we will sit upon the rocks,
6Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
7By shallow rivers, to whose falls
8Melodious birds sing madrigals.
9And I will make thee beds of roses,
10And a thousand fragrant posies,
11A cap of flowers and a kirtle
12Embroider’d all with leaves of myrtle:
13A gown made of the finest wool,
14Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
15Fair lined slippers for the cold,
16With buckles of the purest gold:
17A belt of straw and ivy buds,
18With coral clasps and amber studs;
19And if these pleasures may thee move,
20Come live with me and be my love.
21The shepherd swains shall dance and sing
22For thy delight each May morning;
23If these delights thy mind may move,
24Then live with me and be my love.

government killings?
does any 1 else think that the government is creating alot of the diseases that are killing ppl? look at the bird flu. it was never heard of and then all of a sudden ppl started dying because of it. and aids. it just popped up all of a sudden. and then theres explainsalmonella. its been around for ever but now its popping up in lettuce and other stuff that it wouldnt ever live in. same w/the west nile virus. all these strange diseases and sicknesses just keep popping up out of no where. some that have never even been heard of or documented before. do u think its the government creating them? maybe for population control? give me ur feed back cuz id love to see if im the only 1 that feels this way. and if u have any other explanation of how these diseases keep popping up feel free to express them.
and no im not some crazy person. just think about it and think about what kind of power the government has at their disposal. and think about all the ppl dying from mysterious new diseases.
