We lost a bird last night - our last parakeet, Crystal, a sweet little green bird that had been very lonely since Blueberry, her cage mate died this past January. She had not looked good for a couple of days, and last night when we got home she was on the floor of her cage. She was calm and didn't seem to be in too much distress, so I left her alone and later Ryan came to me and told me she had died.
I will miss her sweet little twitters. We are now left with two finches (Becky and Bonnie), three cockatiels (Petey I, Petey II, and Jack) and one parrot (Rainy). This is the lowest number of birds I have had in 6 years. I have two empty cages but I'm going to move Rainy into Sam's cage - he is slowly eating his and I'm afraid that he's going to figure out a way to escape - he's done it before. Then if I move the two little finches into Crystal's cage I can move that huge flight cage to the basement and have a little more room in the dining room - ha! I mean the bird room. If I thought the 3 cockatiels wouldn't kill each other I'd put all three of them in the flight cage and just have 3 cages - wow - isn't gonna happen though - Petey II and Jack have an on-going thru-the-bars-of-the-cage feud that gets quite loud at times. They would hurt each other.
It is rainy, damp, bare and gloomy today - and will be tomorrow too. Man - this is a hard time of year for me - it's hard to just get out of bed in the mornings. If I didn't have a job I'd stay in bed all day - every day - until the leaves came out and the flowers bloomed again.
The sun will come up - tomorrow - bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow -
there'll be sun.
I'm afraid my cobwebs and sorrow will still be there anyway - but hey - COME ON SUN!!!
Peace
