Scarlet Chested Parrot Mortality

I have had one of this season young Scarlet Chested females die recently. I'm really concerned about the high mortality rate especially amongst my Scarlet Chested Parrots. This particular bird looked particularly healthy and in good feather, the only abnormal thing I observed is that lower part of the beak was further out than the upper, something that I certainly had not notice before hand.

I'm going to do some research into this, I know they are not as hardy as some of my other parrots but the rate of loss I'm experiencing lately should not be so high.

My wife has burrowed a friends digital SLR camera, allowing me to get great high resolution images of my birds (see the side of my blog) which has been awesome.

I'm going to the Nowra bird sale next weekend which should be awesome. I'm planning to purchase a carrying box and I'll try and sneak in some pictures for this blog.
