Went out this morning to take care of the birds. Started with the prisoner breeders. I found a dead breeder on the loft floor. No injuries. No signs of desease that I could determine. No predation nor bad weather. I am at a loss. Yesterday it was healthy and chasing his female. Always had fresh water, grit and food.
I have to keep a very close eye on the birds now, to check for any signs of problems.
Deceased: AU-04-AAC 25. Purchased from The Quest Loft approximately one year ago. Out of AU-02-GFL-622 and AU-01-GFL-725. The deceased bird was flown by Jake Beard of Spring Hill, Florida and placed in the top 30 in excess of 2000 birds, several times. He produced a first place winner in his first year as a breeder, and other diploma winners.
So sad.
He was buried in the back yard, under a Dogwood three.
Does this type of thing happen sometimes, with no cause found? It never has to me before.
