We're grateful for the kind notes from friends and relatives who learned of the death of Mr. Bird, our neighborhood peacock. We didn't expect such a response for a creature who was, after all, a wild animal, not even a pet.My daughter, Anna Blasco, added the peacock portrait to the condolence card shown here. Her sister Erin sent a beautiful bouquet with a note that said "we will always cherish the memories of Mr. Bird."
As Anna noted inside her card, our family had known Mr. Bird for 16 years. It was Anna who first spotted him walking down our street.
My cousin Sandy in Pennsylvania sent a kind email. My wife's brother and sister-in-law read of Mr. Bird's death on this blog. Our friends and occasional visitors Terry Kelleher and Ann Silverberg and their daughter Jia discovered the death on this blog.
They sent this email: "Mr. Bird was just one of the things that made your home such a great place to visit. White Bird would be well advised not to wander too far. She won't find a nicer neighborhood."
