Tribute to Charlotte

I answered an advertisement on Gumtree this morning to someone that had found a little budgie and wanted a person to give her a home.

Today was Tube Strike Day in London but this did not stop me racing over to Tottenham Court Road station on the underground with a little carry-box with millet, trill and a space for some water, also a folded t-shirt for the budgie to sit on.

Unfortunately the little budgie had already passed away before I arrived, she was a sweet looking little blue budgie - don't know how long she had been outside for.  Did she get free from an aviary or someone's home? - guess I'll never know.

We called her Charlotte after the name of the street she came from.

Rest in Peace little Charlotte.

Here is a pic of her that was emailed to me by the guys that found her just after they posted the advert.

  2. It's a real shame what happened to Charlotte. What a sweetheart. If she had just held on, she would've been living in a great home, with plenty of fiends to play with... if they didn't get all territorial and start fighting with her, that is...
