A Sad Day

We found this tiny little sparrow in June of 2008. I brought her home and, even though I was sure she wouldn't make it, she survived. I called a bird farm and they told me that, since I had raised her by hand, I couldn't turn her loose, as she wouldn't know how to survive "in the wild". She was a wonderful pet, would sit on my shoulder. I loved hearing her cheerful chirping in the morning.

She grew up .....

And brought us five years of happines.....today, she passed away. I'm going to miss her.
