R.I.P Benjamin Bird

Today was a sad day at Father Time's Place. Here's the story as reprinted (with permission) from Father Time's World Gazette....formerly known as Father Times Times which did not receive good reviews from fellow journalists because it's title seemed a tad redundant. What do they know anyways? But I digress.
Local Bird Dies In Horrific Crash A handsome local aviator, Benjamen J Bird, age 2 or so, died today when he crashed into the picture window of a local residence and suffered a broken neck. A resident of the home heard the loud crash and rushed outside to his aid. Mr. Bird was placed on a clean towel and stroked with a warm hand but to no avail. Paramedics Chuck Daelenbach and Howard Rhoades arrived at the scene within minutes but pronounced him D.I.A. and nonviable. Since the paramedics disagreed, a neutral third party examined the beautiful specimen and said it had expired. Since no clear consensus could be determined, all parties went home in a huff. Benjamen's family was notified by placing a small red stop sign with a notification of a 24-hour fast in his honor placed on the window as well as the residence's bird feeder. Funeral arrangements are being provided by Father Time's Mortuary and Chili Stand.

Poor bird! Well, at least the cat didn't get it, right? LOL

She was pissed because Mom got there first! Showed us her butt and gave us a couple of tail twitches as if to say, "Up Yours!"

Yes, I can totally see that happening :)

You are so right Emme. As you know, Mr. President never prevaricates!

Well, hardly ever.

Nice blog. Benjaman bird is a children's book editor and freelance writer from St.paul, minnesota. Here you have discussed how a local bird dies in a Horrific crash. Also I observed some important facts of this crash. Thanks for sharing. Apart from this article, I learned some facts about hamsters habitat which have become established as popular small house pets.
