B&G macaw died

I am sorry for your loss. Unfortunately Dr B can not tell you why your bird died. The only way to tell would be if you had taken your bird to an avian vet for a necropsy.

There are so many things in our houses that are toxic to birds, it could be that it chewed, licked or breathed something toxic. Also, if your bird was eating human food, instead of pellets, it could have died from a chemical in the food.
