I have a tiel from Petsmart and he is healthy. Though, I have kept him in a separate cage, and across the room from my other tiel. I had him vet checked and it cost me more than the bird and the new cage combined; yet, it's worth it to know that they're healthy. So far, so good. I'm sorry you lost your bird. They die quickly and sometimes you never know why. Next time, when one stays at the bottom, go to the vet immediately; hind sight is 20-20. Luckily I haven't ever had to face that. Though I have had to put 3 animals down in the last 3 years (one dog and two cats), I've never experienced the loss of a bird. They are different creatures, and I LOVE them. I do have 6 dogs (3 Shih-tzus, 1 pug-a-poo, 1 chi-maltese, and 1 very large Yorkie), a cat, a fish, and 2 tiels. I just love them all!
