Blueberry

Well sad news on the budgie front. Poor Blueberry is ill and probably hasn't got much longer to live. She has kidney failure or something similar which is not surprising since she has never been the healthiest of budgies. I didn't expect her to have a long life since the day I brought her home from the pet shop. The store has gone from being a fairly good place to buy pets to one with animals and birds all crowded together. They seem to be more interested in making as much money as possible and less so in keeping healthy stock. No doubt the suppliers of the pets are just mass producing them. Blueberry's general health has never been great.

Here she is snuggled up to her pal 'Sammy'. It's quite sad to see him a bit confused about why she is sleeping all the time and not to her usual mischief.

There isn't really anything the Vet can do. We tried anitbiotics just on the off-chance she had an infection but they have had no effect.
