All I can say to that is...ew!
My friend had a bird commit suicide against her patio window on her balcony. When I went to stay with her, she hadn't been on the balcony for three days - made me shift the bird as she wouldn't go anywhere near it!
Also, my cat used to find mirrors very intriguing and would keep looking behind them for the 'other cat' - til she realised it was herself.
I thought you were SUPPOSED to give budgies mirrors because they like the company? Well, either that or they are very vain creatures. Maybe your budgie had issues with her own image Emma!
