Today marks one year since Pepper passed and I wanted to write something in her memory. Pepper was a zebra finch, and a very pretty one at that.
I still miss you, my Peppery little lady, with your beautiful black cheeks. And I still remember those feelings when I first saw you, and I just knew you had to come home with me - nothing could've stopped me - it was just meant to be, even for such a short while as it was. Although I wish you could've stayed with us longer (you would have loved living in the aviary), I am so grateful for the time I had you. I was looking back at pictures of you - if only I had more of them, but lessons are learnt from mistakes made. It may be too late for more of you, but I now have hundreds of the other birds - it's bordering on silly amounts!
I remember that you were perhaps not the cleverest finch in the charm, but your curiosity and persistence in working out something new (for example - how to get from inside the cage to outside the cage) was adorable - it makes me smile just thinking about it now
I've started to ramble and I've said a bit more than I was intending. This may seem daft, writing to a dead bird - but it makes me feel closer to you, as though you know you're still in my thoughts. I just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten you, Pepper - and I won't. Keep flying free, my angel - guide those in the charm who have joined you since you left, and watch over those who remain.
With love, for my Peppery angel xxx
