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.
