Remy...

[fajrdrako]

I got home from work to find that my new blue budgie, Remy, had fallen off the high perch and died in the fall. Hardly more than a baby, and such a sweet little guy. I never even had time to take his photo.

Budgies: so fragile.

Especially if it meant living in the Hub! Now, I have a nice little fountain that runs water with a pretty tinkly sound when I remember to fill it. The Hub has a whole bloody waterfall! And all those neat tunnels and odd spaces and white tiles. Nice central downtown location, too.

Mind, it's probably a bit dangerous... But you would have Jack and team to protect you!

I'm sure if I ask Logan he'll inform me that a budgie is a bird - a bird of the very best type, and the best there is at what he does!

(If you aren't enough up on X-Men to know, that's a tag line for Wolverine, a.k.a. Logan - "He the best there is at what he does." Usually followed by a line about what it is he does, whatever that may be in any given story. Last one I read was "He the best there is at what he does, and what he does - isn't shopping!")

Of course. The clever little guy knows exactly which shows to watch!

I wouldn't mind that in the least!

My colelge takes the P big time.... UGH. I hate being ill...

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Being ill is horrible by definition, and worse when someone else is giving you trouble.

I'm so sorry. *hugs*

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Thanks! *hugs back*

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

Good. Please pet him for me.

[star-momma.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm soooo sorry! Especially to have another loss so soon :(

[jkluge.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! :-( Oh, poor budgie. Dearest, I'm so sorry for your loss.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Yes. Doesn't seem right, does it?

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Thanks. He was such a great little bird - ! I'll miss him.

eh, it only works for stuff that breeds - for we need generations and generations before this happens. So if you want to take advantage of this you must make sure that your coffeemaker and hoover are sexually active after a month or so.

you must make sure that your coffeemaker and hoover are sexually active after a month or so.

And here I'd been wasting my time lecturing them on safe sex!

[wijsgeer.livejournal.com]

you must be a succesfull lecturer.

Or maybe there is only cross species sex in your house, that doesn't result in any offspring. To have at least a smithereen of change that the minitorisation breeding programm is succesfull you need at least two of everything.

(Like with many things, you make the problem worse before improvement comes)

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

The only thing I have successfully bred was budgies, and truthfully, I didn't have to do anything except put Simon and Wisdom in the same cage for a while. Then suddenly there were these hatching eggs.

The rest of the household furniture seems to be sterile.

Thanks. [hug back]

[wijsgeer.livejournal.com]

well, if they do breed, do keep an eye on them and let me know if subsequent generations end up smaller than their parents. (thanks)

From personal experience, it tends to be more that their little hearts give out, and then they fall. They are very fragile wee creatures.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

That might have happened, for whatever reason. Can't blame Teflon this time.

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

No. Poor darling...

[loreleif.livejournal.com]

Oh, poo! *HUGS* I'm so sorry to hear that. How are you and Logan doing?

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Okay, mostly. I still feel disturbed when I think about Remy's death and I keep worrying about Logan's welfare. My latest fear is that possibly Remy succumbed to a stray Teflon molecule still in the air, so Logan is visiting maaseru while I air out my apartment with all windows wide open and the kitchen exhaust fan turned on high.

Though frankly, despite my fears for his health, Logan seems happy and healthy and lively. He's sitting on maaseru's table listening to CBC radio right now, no doubt enjoying a change of view.
