RIP Charlie Smalls (2005-2005)

Yesterday we fished this fool:

out of a drainage ditch. We named him Charlie Smalls, because we live on Charlie Dr. and he was, well, small. Here's a picture of John (who like his big brother exhibits an obstinate refusal to wear a shirt) feeing him his last meal. He died this morning.

HAHAHAHA. Birds are fools. And I can not BELIEVE you are practically touching that thing. Sick. And why is it so gross looking?

Nikki! What has gotten into you? The bird was sweet, though rather skittish. Geez, you really hate birds (which IS after all understandable..)
I just got off the phone with Dawn. She was doing much better at responding within 4 minutes of my question. :)

Nikki--you are really harsh. It's a hurt bird. Lighten up.

Aww, you guys are nice to take care of an animal you probably knew was going to die anyhow. Props to you, Michael Rice, and your familia.

MW Rice said...

Thank you KELLY! What a nice girl you are! :)

Jessica and Nikki-you girls are mean!! But I know what you mean; I don't really like birds either. I've heard people say there are robot birds who fly around and spy for the government. Crazier things have happened/are happening. Who knows?

dawn, where are you? are you back safe? where's my gothic friend?
