The Pigeon Died.

It lived through the night, didn't look very healthy this morning (huddled with feathers fluffed out), ate a bit of mush from Kate, and then was put back into its 'nest' in the toy dog house ( Read more... )

My sympathies to Kate. I expect it will be a very moving and lovely funeral.

Throwing itself off the balcony is going quickly and cleanly?
I had to laugh,

will it be an elaborate funeral ?

Oh, poor Kate. :-(

Speaking of Kate, I actually have a little something for her and would like to send it to her. Could you email me your address? Thanks!

Thanks, all.

The funeral was dignified and moving, at least until the end, when we were all asked to say something to the belatedly-named Pidgwing.

And Colin, who's 13.5, said with a perfectly straight face, "Goodbye Pidgwing, it was nice knowing you. And I hope at least you enjoyed the free-fall."
