Am I really grieving for a parakeet?
I couldn't hug you -- too small
I couldn't cuddle you -- you weren't that kind of bird
And yet
Three years and seven months or so, you managed to work your way into my heart
You were a huge personality in a tiny feathery package
You brought a little joy in an otherwise lonely life
And for that, I'm grateful
And I grieve for you
Thank you Angel, I hope you felt my love too.
I miss you.

Can we watch tv too? (sometimes they seem to enjoy watching it...)

Angel in the sun, taking in the view.

Have to stay pretty, even if you're a boy.

As soon as that camera person moves, I'm all over that broccoli!

Sonny's plotting her course to the broccoli...gotta share Angel!

Oh there's a lot to chew on here... what should I try first?

Oops, sorry about the flash! Too bright! (blink!)

Heh, Angel looks a bit disgruntled here doesn't he?

Is there anything cuter than little birdie-tongues? Cute!

Ohyea, that's good stuff!

Mmmm! Parsley!

We're just hangin' out.

I like the pretty blue reflected in the light off Angel's feathers.

If "Eat like a bird" means "Eat as much as possible!" then whoever coined the phrase coined it right. This is where they like to be the most. Yum yum.

Yep, lookin' at you two!

Cute!

Angel's turn to pose a moment. Sweet!

Sometimes birdies need to rest.

Angel in the sky! Well, almost...
