Sweetpea, I am so sorry. I couldn't believe it when I read it on your blog.
You did all you could for him.
He's up there in the land of millet and swings playing with Atilla, Raspy and my gang of hooligans. I suspect Abbie has found a new prince as he's strikingly similar to Hector. xx

Fly high, dear Thomas! You were indeed an angel and so beautifully blue. As budgiefriend says, Atilla & Raspy will doubtless be looking after you in your new home.

I'm more worried about Abbie fighting with Atilla and Raspy!
Wouldn't want to be in the middle of that!

Oh my! Jojo wont let me near anything in her cage to clean it, I have to be so crafty. You've gotta love those territorial hens! Atilla & Raspy used to "supervise" cage cleaning times - it would take hours. I had 2 mirrors - one in the cage & one to swap. I'd place the clean one somewhere close & try & pick a time when Atilla was otherwise engaged to do a quick swap. If she was chewing the poang chair I was safe, but otherwise it was a high-risk operation. Thomas was never that kind of trouble. In fact I don't think I ever told him he was a "silly sausage" & I say that to the other 3 quite a lot....

Oh I didn't mean to set you off again sweetpea! It's just sometimes I feel like I cant express how much I want to say through words I'm glad you liked the song/vid xx I liked it very much. Interestingly, the song is by Bill Monroe, from Kentucky, where their other famous sons were the Everly Brothers. Of course the wonderful Phil Everly passed away earlier this month. It's not been a great start of the year for me.... Be glad when we move into February.... As for appropriate songs, when Thomas was ill, The Who's "Tommy" kept popping into my mind: At times he was a bit dazed & I was shouting at him to get his attention, Thomas, Thomas... a bit like Roger Daltry... but I don't look as good in jeans.
