Yesterday morning I found my second-eldest baby Princess dead in the aviary. It had taken its first flight and flew straight into the wall of the aviary and broke its neck. I had such a miserable day after that, I wrapped the little sweetie up and buried it under the rosemary. Our very first Princess clutch, and this little darling (no name yet, only an ID code for now) barely got to feel the wind under its wings before its life was snuffed out. I am wondering if it was the massive storm we had yesterday that scared it, or the feral tom cat that sometimes freaks them out.
I will miss its inquisitive little nature, its little head nestled in the crook of my arm, and its sleepy-time muttering with its brothers and sisters. RIP little baby, I miss you very much.
