Sunny
My little canary, Sunny, died yesterday. I knew he was leaving me but he fought for two weeks. His legs gave out and I was putting his food and drink on the floor of the cage next to his mouth. I love canaries because they sing so gloriously. I have heard that canaries are not supposed to live past 6 or 7, but my last one lived for 11 years and Sunny for 10. He sang for many years and then stopped. I am pretty sure he was silent for two to three years. I just thought it was his age. And then, two months ago he started singing again! At any time of the day or night he'd break out into song. I don't remember a bird singing at night before. So he gave me his "swan song" before he left. It seemed like a little miracle.

I am sorry about the loss of Sunny. I can see that he was well loved. What a wonderful miracle that he sang again for you.
I am so sorry to hear about Sunny. He was a special little birdy! And I'm so happy for the miracle of his last songs for you - a kind of "thank you" for giving him such a good life, I believe. I am sorry he's gone, but he gave you a lot of joy.
So sorry you have lost this dear feathered friend but what joy he brought to you while he was here!
