Ixy has passed away this morning. Rest in peace!
This came totally unexpected. Ixy is the most busy bird of the two and she seemed to be completely healthy. A good feather pack, good appetite, playful, good mood and always exploring new things.
My girlfriend was already making them new food when I came downstairs and like I do every morning is say hi to them.
Ixy grabbed the cage which I did not understand why, then she flipped back her neck and reacted really strange... Not even 2 seconds later she felt of the stick she was holding with her other leg on the rope, rolled over that rope and felt on the cage floor. I picked her up as fast as I could but it was already to late for her... She made some poor sounds like she was still hanging in there but this took for about 5 seconds and then she became completely quiet. I checked her life signs by listening and checking her pupils but she was already gone 
We got Ixy on 22-01-2011 from the shelter, we had no idea how old she was, she lived till 15-08-2011. Rest in peace our loved Ixy!
Here you see Iggy looking at us after he tried to wake Ixy.
Here some pictures of her being still alive.
Ixy and her “What are you looking at!” look to the camera
It seems that Ixy likes seeing her self in the camera... She even doesn't get scared when I come with my hands near her. Normally she flies away even if you just point at her 
Our lovebirds in the first week in our home.
In the first week I shot some photo's of our lovebirds, the one with a misformed mouthpiece and feather pack is Iggy and the one wit everything in order is Ixy.
We have no idea why Iggy has this but we are going to the vet to at least make his mouthpiece formed better so he can eat fruit and seeds more easy.
We trust on his feathers to return cause he might have been lonely in the shelter or got a fight with other birds.
You can see some photo's of them below
