A few days ago while I was on my way home from work I got a phone
call from my wife that our blue crown conure was at the bottom of his cage and barely Breathing , as soon as I got home I rushed him to the vet but it was too late he died in my arms in the parking lot . He was perfectly fine ealier that day , chatting and playing as usual . The only thing out of the normal was my wife used some photography lamps to take Christmas photos of our children. The type of lamp used does get very hot but I couldn't find anything stating the materials it is constructed of other than the housing being aluminum. We have done everything we could have removing all teflon cookware , aerosols etc. from our home . Our conure just turned a year old in October , our whole family is heart broken , and want to make sure this never happens again.The lamp is a Lowel Tota lamp , I would post a picture but I can't figure out how to post one from my phone . He died a few hours after the lamp was turned off , I'm not sure if it was the cause or a coincidence.
