I'm sorry for the loss of your budgie. :hug:
There is really no way for anyone on the forum to be able to tell you why your bird died.
If it was ill, the other budgies may be affected.
Unfortunately, without a qualified Avian Vet performing a necropsy on the dead budgie's body, there is no real way for anyone to know the cause of death. Any information you are offered would only be guesses.
The best thing you can do for your other budgies is ensure they get the best possible care.
To do that, you need to ensure their cage meets at least the minimum size requirements for the number of budgies housed within.
You should remove any nestboxes, nest-pots and nesting sites at this time. Colony breeding is not recommended and you should do everything possible to discourage egg laying. Breeding budgies should not be undertaken without a great deal of research first.
Budgies' health is directly affected by their diet so it important to ensure they are getting the proper nutrition.
This forum offers a great deal of information and all you need to do is take the time to read it.
Again, you have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your budgie.
I'm moving your thread out of the "Emergency" forum and into "Budgie Health" at this time.
To familiarize yourself with the forums, please take the time to read through all of the How To Guides, the FAQs and the stickies located at the top of each section of the forum.
You'll find most of your basic questions are answered after you've read through all of them.
