Hello,
I am wondering about toxic plants. Is it dangerous for budgies if their cage is standing close to a toxic plant for example lilies? I know it´s very dangerous if the eat the toxic plants but how is it if they are in the same room that has toxic plants?
Also I wonder if it´s dangerous for budgies to be close to a cumputer screen. For example a 27 inch Mac computer screen. Is the light from the screen dangerous for them?
What symptoms will a budgie get that has been poisoned by something, for example, by eating something bad or by toxic fumes from a stove?
The reason I am asking all these questions is because on the christmas holiday me and my two budgies stayed at my parents house and they had some toxic plants like lilies and poinsettias in the house. I did not let my birds come outside the cage.
The second day we where there my birds cage was standing about 50 inches from my mac computer that has a screen of 27 inches and also they where about 80 inches away from a lilies plant. At 7 pm my mother fried some steaks in a cast iron pot. She forgot to put the fan on the stove and the house smelt a lot liked cooked food. She did not burn the food.
2 hours later at 9 pm my female budgie Smulan 4 years old threw up a little and then pretty fast she was not able to sit still and went all over the cage and I could see she was not feeling good. She did not want me to touch her at this time. She ended up on the floor in the cage and she was breathing fast and it looked like she did not have any balance because she fell over many times. Finally I took her in my hands and she calmed down and was laying in my hand and just looked at me. After a while she made a little sound and then she died. All this happened in 30-45 minutes.
2 hours later just before midnight the same thing happened to my male bird Smiley 9 years old. He lost balance and could not grip on the perches anymore and fell to the ground in the cage. He moved around a lot on the floor and stopped at times. 30 minutes later he was gone. I am so sad. This was a chock for me. My budgies was my babies and I have been crying everyday for 5 weeks now and I am devastated. I miss them so much and I need to know what happened to them.
They where all healthy and playing around the whole day and being happy as always. They ate organic cherry tomatoes and pea sprouts and lettuce peas that day and they had the same vegetables the day before. This was their favorites. I can’t imagine something was wrong with the vegetables.
If anyone have any information about this please let know.
Thank you.
