so... the bird? the one we got on wednesday who was the little white puffball snuggling up to me and playing angry birds?
we left the house at 10 this morning to do stuff, got back shortly after 12, and found the little guy lying at the bottom of the cage, cold and stiff and dead.
no idea what happened.
his head was at kind of a funny angle; my guess is that he either fell or didn't quite make the jump to a perch, or got startled, who knows.
he was barely nine weeks old. we hadn't quite decided on a name.
we are both completely devastated. waited so long for him to arrive, fell in love so hard, such a beautiful little bird, and not a week later he's just gone.
angus and bruce are quiet today -- they haven't been out of the cage much. so much upheaval for those guys lately -- moving a million miles, getting a new cage and not being let out for six months, two temporary apartments, and then a whole new house and another new cage. and then rico passes on, and then suddenly there's this crazy tiny psycho little roommate for three days who's then boom, gone...
i hope it's not too much for bruce; he's only a year younger than rico was. i really don't want to bury three budgies in one fucking year.
you guys, the little bird. such a goofy puffball and then gone. i can't even believe it.
