She got up in the morning to find my sister's budgie to now be an ex-budgie, very much deceased, lying on floor of his cage with his legs in the air. She'd accidentally left a teflon lined pot on a low heat on the stove top.<br /><br />Was more than 20 years before Mum confessed the cause of the budgie's death to me. I don't know if she's yet told my Big sister....<br /><br />Hey - Bakeware isn't even bakeproof these days<br /><br />Mickle xxxMickle in NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432796020646607634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-84255035094420358092009-04-22T06:58:00.000+01:002009-04-22T06:58:00.000+01:00THanks for that.

Next time I get a bird fly into the kitchen (which they seem to do on a regular basis), instead of putting up with their fluttering and pooing all over my counters, I'll just bung in a load of cookies and sit back and wait for asphyxiation to occur. Thanks for the household tip.
