Hee! Well, that's Mr. G's hand holding Huevo and Garuda, so he's sort of there. He got a cool haircut the other day and took a bunch of pictures, but now I think he's being shy...I will tell him he should complete the set ;)
That's horrible about the bird. Horrible. There was some terrible woman at the pet store this evening who was buying a replacement bird (per the clerk--I didn't hear this directly, though I got a bad feeling about this person as she was looking at birds) because, as she put it, "There was something wrong with that other bird--it died." I'm 99% sure she killed it without even knowing that was what she was doing. The new parakeets are actually refugees from one of my vet's own employees, who thought they'd be a nice pet for her 7-year-old kid. Uh, no. They are a terrible pet for children, but they're cheap, so that's mostly who gets them.
Um, not that it is your fault for being a child with a pet bird. I just get very protective about all birds, everywhere, at all times...it's exhausting, actually.
