The reason for the death of 38 budgerigars at the Gwynedd Budgerigar Society Open Show is of great concern. Many theories have been put forward but we still have no answer!

It would appear that none stick pans where not used. (Cage and Aviary magazine November 26 2009). Therefore, it is critical to find out what chemicals or if any chemicals had been mixed which may create chemical reactions that give off toxic fumes and therefore be deadly to budgerigars which could be the possible culprit.

Consequently we will need to know what chemicals were used in Gwynedd’s Bio Security Measures and if any of the cages were wiped with any chemicals.

I also believe it is the responsibility and duty of the Budgerigar Society to launce a full  investigation into the deaths of these 38 budgerigars at the Gwynedd Budgerigar Society Open Show without delay, not to do so could be negligent; as it may happen again.
