This is Thing 1, a tiny, 9 gram male zebra finch who lived with Nance in Florida. He died today after a long (for a bird) struggle. Five days ago Nance took him to the vet to be euthanized, because he was in such bad shape. But they called her up a little later saying he was flying around and doing fine. For five days, his new name was Lazarus.

He was a good bird.
