Caution Parrot lovers: You May leave a healthy pet and come back to him on deaths door

Dear pet lovers I write this review with tears in my eyes and a very heavy heart. We had a beautiful healthy African Grey parrot that we handed over with complete trust to be looked after at the parrot Inn in Centurion while we went on holiday overseas in December. We went to pick him up this afternoon. We noticed the following things: The cage that Akbar was in was very very dirty and looked like it was not cleaned for weeks. My beautiful bird looked very thin and non responsive. We rushed him to the vet in Centurion and he passed away at 7pm this evening. My family ( husband, children , helpers and myself) are in shock and devastated. The vet indicated that his crop ( stomach) was empty and that he may have had a severe infection. I left a perfectly healthy bird a month ago at the Parrot Inn and now he is dead. I cannot understand why they did not contact us to inform us that he was ill/ unwell. Even this afternoon when my husband went to pick him up they did not mention anything. I really would like to caution parrot lovers about leaving their parrots at the Inn. We love Akbar and May his soul Rest In Peace in Bird Heaven
