Sad day . . .

One of our parakeets died today. He was about 6 years old. The worst part was that he was sick all afternoon and chirped (a pitiful, sad chirp) most of that time. The kids were distraught and I thought maybe I should let the cat have him to put him out of his misery (just kidding). Sunny is now laid to rest in a pink shoe box and his burial place has yet to be determined. Tomorrow we shall hold a funeral service for him.

These are our birds Sunny and Sky.
