Some sad news...

fajrdrakoTwo of my budgies died today. Gambit died around 11 a.m.; Pryde probably an hour or so after that, though I was out, and didn't find her till I got home hours later.
Cause of death? I'm almost certain it was teflon poisoning. I'd been cooking some vegetables in a teflon pan; it burned dry. I didn't think much about it - these things happen - but it turns out that teflon fumes are extremely toxic for budgies. I had no idea.
Logan seems to be all right. I'm hoping that having lasted this long after the burned-pot incident, the danger is over for him.

Date: 2006-12-02 04:04 am (UTC)I had no idea about teflon fumes being deadly for birds, it does make you wonder how bad it might also be for us.

no subject
Date: 2006-12-03 03:41 am (UTC)Yes, budgies are very social, constantly interacting with each other, and singing in harmony. Logan obviously misses his friends, trying to sing for three with just one voice. He looks rather at a loss in the cage all by himself.
