Farewell Ferd

Ferd, our lovebird, pried the lock off her cage and flew into Muppet's open jaws of death.

She wrote her own one-way ticket to the great lovebird luau in the sky. She is notorious among the bird community for her vast lock picking abilities, which is why her cage doors are double locked. Alas, she still managed to fly the coop.

Ferd bird, you little turd
sprung yourself free of this not-so-easy
lifestyle of nest and seed. Goodbye Ferd.
Despite your evil, biting and self-mutilation
we loved your color permutation
greens and greys and adorable head
yellow golden smile
peeking out from your tee-pee bed.

Trips to the vet, when you laid your first egg
Ferd's a female? Unbelievable
it's not too close to Easter and a practical joke.
Shots and hormones, they popped you with your own anti-ferd...
it was always you who killed yourself. Absurd.

Little Fird, stupid bird
kiss kiss baby bye-bye
we'll miss you and forever
Maverick will be calling your name
as we all say good night.
