    What about a memorial stone you make yourself? I make one for each of my critters. I don't use them as grave markers as I have them cremated, but they would work as that.

    My hubby makes me the molds and I do the decorating ect. We use plywood molds, but any sturdy thing would work. The concrete is plain ol' readi-mix from the hardware store and I use pieces of glass, stones, ect to decorate. Each color has a meaning.

    If you happen to live near a big craft store, you can buy stepping stone kits that include everything you need.
    If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you must find the courage to live it.

    Perhaps you could make a donation to a bird rescue in his name?

    Maybe put a bird toy into the stone, or marbles with his colors. If he had a mirror toy or another flat toy that could be layed in the stone it would be cute. Have any of his feathers, maybe just a few little ones from the bottom of the cage? For a cute memorial for in the house you could get a clear glass ornament at the craft store and put a few of his feathers in it or make a design.
