Hi all
Thank you for your prayers. We have lost Marmalade a M2 Sunny a U2 Lita a GSC Joe a U2 abigail a MSC Marly a U2 Tasha a U2 Marcy a Noble Macaw and squally a pionus. This has devastated us they all died with in Half hour of eating half a grape that were washed with anti bactirial soap and rinsed well. We are taking birds to vet in morning for necropsy and grapes to health department for testing as our 18 year old daughter got sick at the same time as birds dieing. they all died with in minutes of each other there was nothing we could have done we called 3 vets the fire department was here to check for CO2 the police were here also the animal cpntrol was here we are also working with the health department as this happened last year here on the cape with fruit from chile but last year it was people that got sick not birds that I know of. We did not know this till the fire department came.
Please don't feed fresh fruit till we fined out for sure what happened we can not say 100% it was the fruit but we will as soon as the lab work comes back. But for now we are 99% sure it was the grapes.
