I don’t want to do this! But I have to.

Are you sure she’s dead?!

She was yes. She died in November of 2022. I still have her sister, D'Barge, but she is my last legbar.
I love the legbars but mine haven't been very hardy.

I have one currently but she’s still young. What happened to your sweet girl?

It must be laundry day! Your white is surprisingly white.

Snowflake keeps herself pretty clean.

Failure to thrive. I had two that just never got bigger than bantam size. Chippy was smaller than my bantam cochin girls. She almost lived to two years old, so I felt blessed to have her that long. D'Barge is full sized and healthy. Of the other two that I had, Barbie was very small and lived around 18mo, Floppy Faye was a little larger and lived to be a little over two.

The keet is about four days old in this picture and this was the very first time the rescued keet did the "dead" look with me. It just collapsed in a sunny spot next to my leg and took a nap! I had never seen a bird sleep spead out flat before (I am use to other more nest bound baby garden birds) so it came as a little bit of a shock to me.
