The Song of the Jungle has gone quiet...

Haven't posted much this Spring, as great sadness has befallen the Cosmic Tiki Hut here. Our beloved little jungle bird, India, has passed on after many years of fascinating, exasperating, and constantly delightful companionship. Just shy of her 15th year, she was a true member of the family and will be greatly missed.

I had mixed her "snippy" call into "YoYo Island' Twilight Jungle Cruise" as a lark, but am now glad that I did, as I can listen in on those days when she is missed most. I only wish I had recorded some of her other, more beguiling calls too..., especially an intoxicating little 4-note trill that was straight out of the forests of Old Ceylon. Of course she only made it when she was mad.

She reminds us that life flies with time, and to love all our loved ones while we can.

Aloha,
SOK
