Some sad news...

[fajrdrako]

Two 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.

I'm so sorry! I hope little Logan stays okay.

Yes, Logan seems still to be fine. You can't imagine my relief when I uncovered the cage this morning and saw that he was alive and well.

Great icon!
