Today I had to say goodbye to my beautiful little robin, Dana. She was with me for three years. She was not releasable because she had a neurological condition which gave her constant nystagmus, and she couldn't fly. She may have been blind in one eye, also. In the last week she'd started having seizures and I put her back on arnica, hoping it would do the same job it did when I first got her. But I came home from work today and found her seizuring. She stopped when I picked her up, and then she calmed down and then sat with me for a few minutes, before dying in my hand. I was glad that at least she didn't die alone.

Robins are awesomely special birds and she was one of a kind even among them – always sitting in her jade tree and clicking her beak when she was pissed off.

Aloha 'oe, my little Dana bird.
