This is Dandy. Soon to be was. She's dying, the first of our flock to leave us in a few years now. The oldest of our current group of budgies. Ever feisty, ever cantankerous, I was only able to get these pictures because of how ill she is. She's our upside-down hanging, pants-hiding, finger-biting, cockatiel-bullying Dandy, and we're going to miss her. I already do.

The vision in this piece is well thought out. It's sad that your bird was dying adding a lot of impact to this media. To some effect it will pull together a universal thought that nature is a wonderful thing. This is entirely original knowing all life dies eventually. The colors add a bright effect to the situation even though the title emphasizes a passing on moment. The clothing worn indicates a soft, ethereal feeling of sadness. This piece shouts out to the viewers and shows that even the smallest things should be treasured.
The impact on this situation is influential and saddening. I'm sorry for your loss and I know this is just a stepping stone through life. Nice emotional piece.

You may, yes. She sadly passed away the day I posted this pic, on my wife's birthday, but we are happy to have others see and know our Dandy.

I forget now why we named her, except that she was very bright and wild.

Actually she was an unholy terror with a bite like a bulldog, but we loved her. She only posed for these pictures because she was so ill at that point, sadly. Of our flock of seven at the time (six now), Dandy was one of the two that definitely did NOT like to interact with us. ::chuckles:: She was a wonderful budgie, though, and we miss her.
