Joey by Stella / Stella and Alan

This is for my neighbour Mrs Stella Poole who, sadly, lost her pet Budgie Joey tonight. Stella knows nothing about computers, being in her 80’s, so I am leaving this tribute on her behalf. Joey was her companion for the last 5 years, and a more talkative Budgie I have yet to meet. He was always so full of life and used to chat away endlessly. He always brought a smile to my face as, when I visited Stella, he would always join in the conversation and would throw his toys around to get attention. He was a very clever little chap and had beautiful markings, as can be seen in the picture. Even though he wasn’t my pet, I shall miss him terribly and know Stella will miss him even more. I have the sad task of burying Joey tomorrow, but will take comfort from knowing he is flying free now, with all his feathered friends. I hope he doesn’t annoy them too much with his chatter and God will keep him safe. I personally would like to thank Joey for all the pleasure and joy he brought me,
in this sad world of today.

 

With Love,
Joey
