BYE, BYE BIRDIE
Another one bites the dust.
Parakeet Major Bird has gone to birdie heaven.
Major had been feeling puny for a couple of months, and I had to decide whether to spend $45 plus meds at the vet for a $20 bird. Turns out I was able to find birdie antibiotics at a pet store, and I forced-fed poor Major dose after dose with an eyedropper for a week.
It didn't any good. When I found him on the bottom of the cage this weekend, shivering and no longer eating, sadly, I knew it was time.
I had him euthanized for $35.
But it didn't stop there. Later, Major's buddy, Minor, looked soooo sad that I went out and spent another $20 on a birdie girlfriend.
And, the cycle continues ...

life is such. i know a guy who married another woman a month after his wife died.
For the new bird, hows a handle like "Majorette" sound.
i like Majorette. It's doesn't roll off the tongue, but I'm still getting confused and calling Minor Major... so it just might work.
You should rename them as Marco, Polo..Marco..Polo...
