Dang--people can be such scum! That sounds like it almost had to be
somebody who knew you--otherwise they'd have taken other stuff too. I
know I'd be happy to kill barehanded anybody who messed with my birds.

Give it time--when you're ready for another baby, you'll know. Consider
a different species too--that might be easier than getting another
Quaker. In the meantime, feel free to hang around and visit us!
