I am sorry to hear of your female love bird passing, could it of been egg bound?
I'm really sorry to hear of your loss. Fly free and high little one, over the mountains. I will tell you about my trips to Pakistan later on.The female parrot of this was found dead in the cage. i got them around 5 days back from a local vendor who had dozens of birds in his shop.
Dont know if the underlying infection rose in here that it carried from the store :-(
I am very upset
my goodness! what a small world! did you like Islamabad? I am from Peshawar, which neighbors Afghanistan. A medical doctor by profession and working for Autism with all my. heart and soul.
i just got the bad news that one of the parrots died all of a sudden with no illness whatsoever... now i am wondering how this. happened!!
so were you in Islamabad for a while? wish i had known you then, we would definitely have met with regards to our parrots

Hello, apart from your loss yesterday I hope everything is OK there.
I didnt have a parrot when I was in Pakistan. My father was at (was is now) PAF Kohat south of Peshawar and I always remember being fascinated by his tales of being there. I have spent about 6 months in the country in total and was lucky to have travelled before the restrictions.
I was first in Pakistan in 1986 backpacking and sightseeing (Murree, Gilgit, Hunza etc), then returned in 1988 to cycle the Karakoram Highway ( I made it as far as Hunza but had a nasty chest infection). We then were caught up in a bit of civil unrest (May 1988) and had to return to be flown out of Gilgit back to Islamabad, and so we then cycled over to Peshawar for a while (arriving during a heatwave). On the way back to Islamabad we met a chap who was working with amputees and I still have my journal entry saying I would love to do something similar .......... fast forward to almost 20 years later and I had trained as an Occupational Therapist and saw a WHO call for volunteers to help in Islamabad (National Institute for the Handicapped) after the 2006 earthquake with rehabilitation of spinal injuries so applied and found myself spending a month teaching Physiotherapists how to work like Occupational Therapists and both make and use equipment and adaptations to enable people to return to some sort of independence with their families.
Following your questions about feeding - one of the things we made were adapted (bent) spoons to allow people to feed themselves again - we bought cheap spoons in the market and bent them to suit the persons hand grip and arm function.
Look forward to hearing more about your flock.
I’m feeding every 8 hours. 12 cc of kaytee.to the forum.
Which is the baby parrot is it you are feeding and how long have you been doing this. Also how are you feeding at the moment is it every few hours or what?
I have not got any videos although some members may know of a link to them.
If you can give a little more information members may be able to advise.
