Day 4 - great sadness

"Today Alfy died. He is no longer with us.  Dad went to get Alfy out of his box in the garage and when he looked in Alfy was not moving. I am very sad and will miss him. We will bury him somewhere in the garden."

Chris

"I was really sad to find that Alfy had not made it through the night. I just wish I knew why he had died. Thanks for following Alfy's short life story. We will all miss him."

Andrew

 "Dad helped us to dig a hole and we buried Alfy behind our old vegetable garden.  We then marked the spot with a Duct Tape cross.  Dad then helped us to make a wooden cross which Thomas and I put up. I really miss Alfy a lot."
Chris

Day 3 - Christmas Carols

I really didn't feel like eating this morning. Both Chris and Andrew tried to feed me but I really didn't want anything. They kept trying but I wouldn't open my mouth.

Andrew spent nearly 30 minutes cleaning my beak and face. He used earbuds and water and was very gentle. When he had finished I did feel like eating as now my nostrils where clear. Before he cleaned me I had hardened Pronutro and baby food all over my beak. Now I could smell again. He even tried to feed me a few seeds but I didn't want any so baby food it has been all day.

The office was lots of fun today as all the staff were in which made it busy. Being the first day of December Christmas carols where being played and enthusiastically tried to chirp along with them.  It was loads of fun!!!!

Andrew also put me on his finger and ran around the office trying to get me to fly. The other staff told him to stop as I am too small to be flying.

So I made it through another day.
