I am so sad at Colin’s passing Marianne Marlow. He was a very beautiful bird with such delicate colouring. The cage he came in with Daisy, Billy and Iris was unbelievably small and you have made such a difference to all their lives. If you hadn’t rehomed, I don’t think any of them would have had a long or a happy life, but they most definitely receive a happy life with you. Fly high Colin and eat lots of millet with your other buddies in the warm and serene Fields of Millet. x |

Thank you ariellaI like to think that Colin has been reunited with some of his friends that passed while he lived with us; Bertie, Lyra, Blithe, Lucy and Lemon. |

I think it’s a comforting thought and that’s a lovely flock for him to be reunited with.

Dear Colin... back home again.
Do they still include the weepy poems, Marianne?

When I call them, I ask them to leave the poems out as I find them upsetting. When I sent my Roswell away, he came back with a poem about how he'd learned to fly and it made me cry my eyes out as for several years before he passed, he had not been able to fly. So now I just get a certificate and receipt! Dear Colin... back home again. Do they still include the weepy poems, Marianne? |

In these circumstances it doesn't take much to start the tears flowing. |

I was looking through some photos and I found some of Colin from February. I thought I would share them. Iris is in the photos too, looking very cute and not at all menacing.   |
