Thanks so much, Pam. I'm still second guessing myself for trying to
catch
Henri, instead of leaving her alone when she flew out of the cage. Part
of me believes that my pursuit of her contributed to the heart attack,
if that's what she had.
Her heart was beating so fast when I put her back in the cage after the
first episode, I was really afraid it would give out.
A half-hour later, maybe that's what happened.
If she had broken her neck while flying into things, I'd be second
guessing myself for not pursuing her.....darned if you do or darned if
you don't.
We do plan to get another female parakeet. After seeing them interact
with each other, especially the way Henri and George did, I'm convinced
they really need to be with more of their own species. Birds are such
social beings.
In the mean time, I will continue trying to be part of George's flock.
