So I decided to get a bird. I ended up getting a parakeet. When Michael and I tried to move it from its box into the cage it got free and ended up in Little Kitty's mouth. However, she was quickly rescued and moved safely into the cage. The problem began a week later when I decided to get a companion for my bird. The first companion lasted 2 days before I found it dead in the cage with the other bird nestled up beside it. The second companion lasted 3 days before it was found dead with the original bird sitting on its corpse. At this point, we decided that I had a serial killer bird. The pet store kindly indicated that I should probably not get another bird. I plan to try again in a month or two when a different shipment of birds had come in just in case it was some illness that was in the pet store cage.
