Miss Feathers flies south

"Oh, I'm going to miss this little house."

"Maybe someone will be able to enjoy it for the winter!"

"Miss Feathers, what are you doing?" I asked. "Why is there a FOR RENT sign on your house?"

"I'm flying south for the winter, Ajdin," she replied. "I listed it on Airbnb so perhaps someone will rent it out while I'm gone."

"Oh!" I was surprised.

"I have a timeshare in Florida," she said. "It will be so warm and sunny down there!"

"When will you be back?" I asked.

"In the spring, when the weather gets warmer here," she answered.

"We will miss you," I said. "I will miss you." I gave her a hug.

"See you soon!" she said, flapping her wings.

"Have a safe trip!" I called out.

Then she was gone.

Hmm, well that's a bummer.

But Miss Feathers will be back soon enough, right?

Spring isn't too far away... right?

Sad news

We have some sad news to share. Our beary good friend of 23 years, Sunny the cockatiel, passed away last week.

She was a beary smart bird, even helping me learn how to code computers.

 This is me feeding Sunny some of her favorite foods, rice and corn!

This is Sunny playing with her favorite toy.

Sunny liked to take baths in the sink.

We will miss our friend Sunny beary much. She was such a beautiful bird and a great friend. Thank you Sunny, we will always love you.
