Unexpected Death

[Miko_the_birb]

My female green cheek Miko died suddenly and unexpectedly tonight. I’m in shock, I let her and her mate out for their daily out of cage time. They’re usually out for about 30 mins then they go back to the cage on their own. She has 7 eggs (layed 11 total from 1/4-1/29 four of them we destroyed) She somehow got stuck behind/between the sofa & wall. Will the male attempt to sit on the eggs once he realizes she isn’t coming back? I feel like the answer is no but I’m certainly no expert (this was her first clutch and not planned)

RIP Mikolaja Aaron 10/30/21-1/30/25 fly high my pineapple princess

I'm so sorry for your loss

I'm so very sorry. I always feel like crying and often do when a PF member loses a bird. Each of our babies is precious and loved more than most can imagine. I feel like I knew Miko from your posts. I also mourn for her mate left behind. He loved her too.
He is very unlikely to sit on the eggs. You could try to hatch and raise her babies yourself. That's what I would do but I have experience with eggs and babies.

I’m really sorry for your loss. I’m sure you are in shock still. I hope you are able to get everything figured out with the eggs, and the mate left behind. I’ll keep you in my thoughts.
