Sadly my baby Marco passed this morning... it has crushed me but a friend knows how bad it can be losing a bird. She is giving her latest new rainbow lorikeet, so the wound is being healed a little faster <
The only problem is we don't know what he died of, he was just found on the bottom of the cage this morning, no injuries or anything. So we are think it was illness he had since before we go him (first and last time i ever buy a bird without a breeder ring...), we are throwing out all the toys (new and old) that ever came in contact with him and his drink and food bowls. Even the cage will be getting a medical grade disinfectant just to be fully safe and a water blasting and days in the sun.
Is there anyway i can save some of the toys? I bought him a new toy a couple of days before his passing this morning, it's one of those numerous textured and parts dangling things, with plastic, chewable stone, wood and weaving even a bell. It wasn't cheap too... He chewed on it a very small amount and didn't poop on it so it's pretty clean and a smallish rope ring that he never touched...
Is there anyway to save one or both? hey would be great toys for the lorrie, if it's better to toss them i can, just seems a big waste....
With any other toys that have been in his cage should i throw them?
Just dont know what to do...
