Binki is missing, she has been gone for a week. I took her outside (like I’ve done many times) and she flew off. I found her four times the first two days but she couldn’t fly to me because of the wind. Now I can’t find her anywhere. It’s totally my fault. I’m worried sick, I can’t sleep. And then the little friendly dog was hit by a car and killed, I had to bury him in the back yard, his owners never came for him.

I haven’t felt like doing anything but I wanted to post these links so you guys know about this new app:

It’s all Binki’s fault

Binki was my first bird. I found her at a pet store in the Bronx. I usually avoid pet stores but I had twenty minutes to kill and my only other option was a McDonalds. Binki caught my eye right away and she never gave up trying to get my attention. She positioned herself in the cage so that she could see me wherever I was in the store. Finally, I relented and went to see her. As soon as they opened her cage door, she was out like a shot and into my arms. So of course, I ended up taking this strange little bird home with me. I had absolutely no intention of keeping her. I figured I would just get her out of there and then find her a good home.

After I got Binki home one of the first thing I noticed about her was how strange her little feet were:

binki-feet

They looked like little chicken feet! This is why I call her “Binki Chicken”. I had a very hard time eating chicken after that. Every time I ate piece of chicken it reminded me of Binki. After a while I just couldn’t do it anymore.
