This morning when I got up and opened the curtains I didn't here the usual welcome chirrup, I turned around to find my beautiful budgie Billy had passed away in the night.
He'd been very quiet since the earthquake, so i think that had a lot to do with it.
We know he was asleep, because he'd tucked his head around backwards as they do when they sleep and he had his eyes closed, so that was a small comfort.
He never talked, but he was the most tame budgie I have ever known, you could just put your hand in and pick him out, he used to sit on my shoulder tucked under my chin.
He was a lavender violet colour with a pure white head and wings so to look at he was very stunning.
We buried him by the bird table in the backgarden so he will have some company.
He will be sorely missed by all of us.

I know you can get very attatched to the little things, we have had a couple when the children were small and they are funny little things and very intellegent, its good that he died peacefully though our last one died after we had been decorating and I felt so guilty not moving him into a bedroom or somewhere I think the fumes of the paint must have killed him
