I am devastated. Jack and Sally were so in love! They were adopted as a mated pair and successfully hatched squabs last Spring. They frequently cuddled and could be heard calling to eachother from rooms away. They had free flight for several hours today and plenty of fresh food and clean water. The two were active and talkative as normal. I put them back into their roomy cage around 1, and went to turn the lights off just moments ago and found gentle Sally inexplicably lifeless in her nest.
Poor Jack! I feel terrible for him. I don't know what to do to help his grief. Does anyone have experience with this kind of loss? I have their offspring in a separate cage in the same room. Everyone is just silent. The sex of the offspring is still unknown, but at least one must be male as Jack began bullying them once they fledged, so I immediately separated them. I just don't know why Sally passed, and how to help Jack now that the is gone. Any advice? Any idea what happened? Any kind words would be appreciated as I am so saddened.
