A Bird's Passing

It is with sadness that I report the death of Smurfy, my parents' budgie who was previously pictured here. She apparently suffered from a hereditary liver defect, and, as birds do, concealed the symptoms until it was too late. She will be missed, but the many birds whom she inspired others to buy and care for will live on.
