He died last night. We had been tube feeding him green smoothie with electrolytes and vitamins, watered down with lukewarm water and a little banana,
and a crushed up 1/4 Cipro tab. We think he may have had aspergillosis. This is very uncommon but we did have the wet warmish weather for a few...
Most of our birds we have had for many years, this one included. I know they can be carriers for some things, but I think the flock overall is quite healthy.
