It has been many, many years, but I still remember my dismay at finding a pile of feathers in the corner by the stove one morning. Some one of three little girls forgot to shut the door to the parakeet's cage and the cat found out about it. I hope Feathers turns up entact!!

Hilarious post--and that photo of the parakeet playground is absolutely hysterical! That being said, I grew up with parakeets and sure hope Feathers is okay. I even took one of my parakeets to an emergency vet once when he flew into a sink of dirty dishwater. He got a shot (of what and where I can't imagine) and he was put on a heating pad all night where I got up every two hours to check on him. RIP Pierre, who looks very similar to Feathers, I might add. I just found your blog from your avatar post on DPS. Hilarious post–and that photo of the parakeet playground is absolutely hysterical!

Losing a pet is rough, especially when you're young. <em>Amanda's last blog post..<a href='http://tallredamanda.blogspot.com/2008/02/whirlwind.html' rel="nofollow">Whirlwind</a></em> Aww, I keep coming back hoping to find an update that Feathers has been recovered and is healthy and well, but so far that doesn’t appear to be the case.

But that photo of you with Peaches? Adorable! Although that dog couldn't possibly look LESS like it's name should be "Peaches", so that's kind of funny :) <em>Elizabeth's last blog post..<a href='http://table4five.net/2008/02/25/best-video-response-ever-jimmy-kimmel/' rel="nofollow">Best video response EVER-Jimmy Kimmel</a></em> Aww, I’m sorry about Feathers.

I wish I could come and help find her. It sounds like she has lived a very nice life so far. When I was a kid, a neighbor cat grabbed my pet mouse from a box in the front yard while I was cleaning the mouse cage. There is nothing scarier than hearing your pet mouse squeaking in a cat's mouth. Fortunately I was on good terms with the cat, and after the cat ran across the street near some bushes I was able to get him to let me retrieve the mouse from his mouth. My mouse was fine. Whew. <em>Gina Cobb's last blog post..<a href='http://ginacobb.typepad.com/gina_cobb/2008/02/i-nominate-bill.html' rel="nofollow">I Nominate Bill Clinton</a></em> Sorry about Feathers.

I had parakeets growing up and they were never (NEVER!) allowed out of the cage, except when the cage needed a cleaning. I think I would have been in heaven given the opportunity to build a bird paradise (no pun intended in light of Feathers' MIA status). I give you kudos for tolerating loose birds in the house!

My. Gosh. I'm so torn...to laugh or to cry? So funny and so sad all at once. We've had 2 firebelly toads go MIA, and thought we'd lost a hamster (but turns out he was watching TV) but I would think a playful parakeet would be very emotional to 'loose'. Hoping for the best.

I've read your previous posts and I know your family's track record with pets. ;) I feel so bad for Porter-the hermit crabs, Naked Baby, and now Feathers. I hope Feathers is found safe and sound. P.S. As bad as I feel for Porter, this post was freakin' hilarious! :) Okay Anne, I was really rooting for you guys this time around.
