Where did he go?? He kinda grows on you huh?
I had bought him a swing to play with. Alexandrines have very strong beaks and will chew on anything. One day I found the beads on the bottom of the cage and saw they had been attached using copper wire. I am not sure if the copper poisoned him or he had ingested some of the wire. Either way I feel he was murdered. Sharing these photos helps me get over it.
