Caryl Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I am here in Chch while a devastated Grant is at home alone after accidentally killing Pepper They had had a lovely day at work down the Sounds. When they get home, Grant usually gets out, goes around to the passenger side and opens that door to get Pepper and the cage (he is usually on it, not in it). Today when they arrived home, he got out of the car and just as he shut his door, Pepper made a leap for his shoulder and was crushed as the door shut It would be bad enough if the bird had died of an illness or something but to be responsible for the death is hard to take. When he rang to tell me he could hardly speak about it he was so upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
