My male red headed gouldian behind the white zebra finch
Today I lost my male red headed gouldian finch. I had had him for more than four years, so I have no idea how old he was.
He had been getting weak, and very recently had been bullied, so I made the decision to take him to the vet to be put to sleep.
The vet was very good, and the procedure was over quickly. I signed a consent form and then the bird was injected (a very narrow syringe making it look like hell of alot of drug). It took a couple of minutes but he went very peacefully and relaxed.
I have not seen a bird put to sleep since helping at the vets when I was at school. It is also sixteen years to the day that my old Dalmatian was put to sleep, he died at home.
