Farwell My Little Friend

1999 - 2009

On Sunday, 30th August, Oscar slipped away peacefully. Unfortunately, I was interstate at the time, however I am assured that he chose his time so I wouldn't be too traumatised! It's very sad, it's always sad to say goodbye to a pet, in particular, one that has been with you for a third of your life. At the same time however, I am thankful that I have had so much time with him. Most budgies only last 5-7 years, so I count myself lucky to have gotten a bonus 3 years.

He's now peacefully resting under a little flowering shrub in the front yard, buried with his favourite mirror, a handful of seed and 10 purple daisy's, one for each year of his life.

Thanks for being in our life little guy!
