I lost my 28 year old cockatiel Baggio (pronounced baa-jee-oh) on Saturday May 2nd. I had him since I was 10. He had been fighting a Candida infection in his crop the last few years. I treated him with a few anti-fungals but I read that even with treatment it is really hard to eradicate that infection.
On Saturday I left him by himself like I normally had before. I went to visit my Mom and brother who live about 30 minutes from me. I checked in on him through the pet camera that I have. When I called into him he was chirping, singing, and whistling like normal.
I checked in on him periodically and he looked normal just hanging out on his cage like he normally did. The last time I had checked in on him he was hanging behind his cage at an odd angle and then he went out of view.
I rushed back to my apartment and I found him passed away outside of his cage on the bottom between the cage and the wall. There was enough space between the wall and cage where he would normally hangout so I don’t think he got stuck. My question is does anybody know what he could have passed away from?
