This story is about a white bird.

It starts nearly a year ago when I looked after some budgies for some people who were moving into the district and had no avairy set up. The birds stayed for a few months until their new home was ready.

The next part of the story is about a sulphur crested cockatoo who was looking for a new home. A friend of mine had told me that the elderly lady who owned it was finding it a bit too much to cope with. I had told her that if need be it could come to us.

I had been away from work for a couple of days and was informed on my return that a man had been looking for me about something to do with a white bird. I quickly rang my partner to say that I thought the cockatoo was about to arrive (much to his horror because he's in charge of housing around this place!).

Imagine his delight and amusement when I arrived home with the littlest white 'cockatoo' you've ever seen ;) The budgie people had given me a white baby to thank me for looking after their birds. Boy did I feel like an idiot!!

Rupert died last night.
My little white 'cockatoo' never did really grow all that much. He did became a girl :o and then just stayed little.
I'll miss her and the mess she would make with the papers that lined her cage.
