one day when i was only 4 years old we went to a home owned pet shop, to get some birds. my brother and i looked around in amazment to see all of the parakeets in their cages chirping loudly.we each got to pick 2. so i got 2 males and my brother got 1 female and 1 male. we were both happy with our selections. my 2 were, well 1 was blue and the other was green, i loved them very much! as the years went on we've had lots of happy memories to never forget!~ i was 7 when my mom and brother wanted to rid of them, and by then i was close to the girl named smudgy, she was georgous and talented indeed. so my mother called a man and made a deal to bring them over to his house soon as possible! i was so sad that i weeped and weeped! my mother didn't know what to do! so then she called the man and said that she couldn't give them away! i was so happy that i couldn't stop running around the house! so when i was 8 and in a new house my favorite bird died! she was the best my baby i couldn't breath at first, i couldn't take the pressure of her leaving! her husband was sad he was jellybean, my bluebird. so then we moved jellybean into the other cage with bingo the yellow bird and frisky, the green bird. they had there ocasional fights but it was ok. the next bird that died a year later was frisky i felt the same peer pressure! then i was down to the 2 birds that were living together, jellybean and bingo they were happy and yet lonsome. but some how they seemed to always get along. another year past and the birds got older, now i'm 11 and i just faced the other pint of pressure! jellybean died a week ago! i was heart broken! bingo has been so sad that hes been by the bars every night wanting to go into the cage of my guinea pig, peach tree i was so sad to see this lonliness. but i don't know if he'll get along with the other parakeets so i can't get another bird. i hope that bingo will adjust to his surroundings by himself in his cage. and sometimes i still constantly thinlk of my birds and how they have filled my young life with joy and happiness, and how smudgy will always be my baby forever. as i sit here now the tears are swelling up in my eyes as i say my nightly prayer and see if i can see her once again sometime in my life in the warmth of her wing~~
