With numerous trips to the Santa Monica refuse center already under its beltline, our 2009 Dodge Ram has become a regular junk yard dog.

Glad we didn't attempt to smuggle any illegal "Bam Boo" in this haul.

What the hell are birds of paradise and why would anyone want to throw one away.

Tell me this country hasn't sunk to the point where people are throwing dead parakeets in the dustbin.

That actually made me laugh out loud.

bird of paradises are closer to crows and bluejays, not parakeets!
And I'd take it home and stuff it if I found a dead one in the garbage.
Oh "bird_S_ <- of paradise". The flower.

I wouldn't have a problem with throwing a dead parakeet in the dustbin. Is that bad? It's too big to go in the toilet. Am I expected to bury said corpse?

I laughed so hard I woke my cat. She also is distressed at the thought of your "dead parakeets in the dustbin" and has offered a solution for their disposal. She has offered to consume them prior to and during death.
