Obituary

We regret to announce the death of Dave Bird.

Dave was almost three years old and died in his sleep of old age. He was predeceased by his brother Digby (image above), the famous ear nibbler.

Dave's funeral took place in a wheelie bin and was attended by Moo Bird who read a short prayer of her own creation.

During his long life, Dave pissed on many shoulders and nibbled several things it would have been better if he didn’t, including the still warm corpse of his brother. Never a slave to convention, Dave famously tried to escape captivity by chewing his way into a bag of compost and waiting for bin day. Although his plan failed he will be remembered among the rat community of Cordwallis Road and the Bird family as a great trailblazer who shat in his food bowl.

アメリカも日本も経済状況がぼろぼろで、ニュースも新聞も不景気な話ばかり。
デンマークって、それをはるかに超える状況らしいね。
Legoって外需が大きいし、不景気な時って、流行のおもちゃより、こういうものを
買ってあげようという親が増えるかもね。

is this anonymous Japanese poster?

RIP Dave.

Although I'm not a massive rat fan (ex boyfriend years ago had two and rarely cleaned their cage, resulting in a smell that I can only describe as 'shit, after a rainfall, drying in the summer sun'.), I can understand the rat-shaped hole he will leave Chez Bird. My thoughts are with you both. Mxx
