On the Rio: Grateful Dead ~ It Must Have Been The Roses


It is with a heavy heart and deep sorrow I must report that our beloved lovebird Zorro will chirp no more. But we will remember Zorro for all the fun moments he gave us.

We brought Zorro home on April 14, 2002. And from the beginning he was a funny bird. He loved water and we built him a birdbath. Here he is drying in the sun.



He loved to eat with us. Popcorn was his favorite, and he'd sit at the edge of the bowl and almost fall in getting the kernels, and then had crumbs all over his beak. We celebrated his first birthday with pie and ice cream, and it was so funny when Zorro flew over the candle and "blew" it out.

Zorro also loved to spend time with us in the kitchen. He'd instigate chasing games, bob his head and dance to tunes, and pretend to protect his territory.



It's just amazing how such a little creature could have such a big personality. We will miss him.
