What I like about this is that the bird's lifespan is listed as 1:00-5:00. That would be PM, as in the amount of time the bird was in my kids' possession. What came before that was not important enough to note.

Another Dead Bird
My children found a dying bird in the yard today, an elderly robin that looked like it had been attacked by a hawk. It just fell down out of the sky, inches from my daughter.

Nothing says "you're going to have a lovely evening full of cheer with hardly any morbid conversations about death and the hereafter" like a dying bird on the porch. Here's the burial site:

I can relate to this. We have a bird (poor thing apparently thought my car window was open, it wasn't), a bat (hit by a car in front of our house), and a toad buried in our backyard along with our kitty and sprintyfast the lizard. All mourned and loved by the children.
