Parrotkeet

Question
I got a male parrotkeet and about 3 weeks later I bought a female parrotkeet. They seem to of got along fine, they kissed etc. and bickered once in awhile. But seemed fine. The female bird did seem to race back and forth in front of the cage door for some reason. Well today I came home and found the female dead on the bottom of the cage. Do you have any idea what may of happened to her?

Answer
Hi, Jennifer.  Thanks for posting.  Sorry to hear about your loss.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't have any idea what may have happened to your female based on the little bit of information in your post.

If you still have the bird's body, you can take it to an avian veterinarian for a necropsy (which is an animal autopsy) if you want to know why she died.
