For The Birds - Episode Four: A Warm Welcome to Marshmallow


Camas, WA:  


 Today is the fourth day since Ocean Blue went to Bird Heaven, leaving Sunny Blue behind 

And while Sunny woke up on her usual high perch, taking a while to get going, soon she went to work on her old pine bark plank in a clear sign that her grieving period was coming to an end

For the rest of the say, Sunny was mostly busy & talking to us and talking to herself in two or three different sounds - sounded as if we had two birds in one cage


Marshmallow Cream, the newest member of the family- sitting in Sunnys favorite place:  The pine bark plank

We had talked about the cons & pros of getting Sunny a new partner.  What if they didn't like each?  We also thought that if we got Sunny a new partner it had to be sooner, rather than later 

So this afternoon, after school pick up, my granddaughters & I headed to PetSmart - on no time, they settled for Marshmallow Cream.  Once home, Sunny & Marshmallow were in opposite sides of the cage sizing each other.  Marshmallow sat on the platform while Sunny was on what used to be Ocean's favorite perch with oversized mirror.


As the Bard might say, apparently all is well than ends well.  We still have to see the sleeping arrangements, but we expect the worst may be over.
