My female budgie, Jacqueline, has died today of liver disease aged 4. During the last few days she was active, but suddenly, yesterday, her health began to fail and she died today. I'm quite saddened for her mate, Trevor, who is very distraught and nervous, he thinks that she is going to return to the cage. This is the second time that Trevor has lost a mate.
