Sorry to hear about the loss of your bird, Dave. We lost our cocketiel Hoppi after 18 years of happy chirping last winter. Sad day.
I believe in the karma thing to a degree, life is something beyond an accounting of pluses and minuses, it is not mathematical at all if you have enough time to reflect on all of it. One of the John Lennon songs had a line, "the amount of love you take is equal to the love you make". If you go through life living the golden rule, even if things go bad(they seem to eventually, like Wayne says) you hopefully have developed enough keel to keep things in perspective and hope for a better day or outcome seems like a sure thing. Some events that at first seem to be terrible sometimes have very surprising, positive outcomes in the end.
I have seen plenty of bad acts in my day, and most of them end up alone in some sense, which may be the worst outcome of all. Glenn
