So Sad

Today I had to put my parakeet, Sprite to sleep. The poor little thing had a prolapsed rectum (cloaca is the proper term, I believe). I am not sure what happened but the vet said it may be that the bird had cancer. He advised that the best thing was to put Sprite to sleep which I had kind of already figured - its gotta' be bad when your insides are hanging out. Poor birdie. I had another parakeet, BB that died on Friday. I am not too sure what was wrong with that birdie but when I came home Thursday evening (I had been out of town for a few days) the bird was sick and I knew she was not going to get better. I think she might have been egg bound. Poor birdie. Rest in peace little birdies.
