One last photo of Buddy,in his box, on my lap, on the way to meet his new mother. She seems like a neat lady, and told Buddy he was a beautiful baby starling. As soon as she picked him up, Buddy opened wide to be fed, so I know he is in good hands.

I do miss him, though . . .

I had a nice birthday - went for a long bike ride along the beach, took Buddy to his new mom, and had a nice lunch, including a strawberry margarita.

Today, back to work!

Thanks to everyone for their good wished for both Buddy and my birthday!
