solarbird told me as I was getting up this morning that her older budgie, Rainsong, passed away during the night. This was not exactly a surprise, as the poor little critter had been looking pretty raggedy for months now. She'd forgotten she could fly, and kept falling down in the cage. Her wings were lying weird against her body as well.
Still though, sniffle. She lived a long and full life. Well, for a parakeet.
