DEAR ABBY: After reading the article about the Easter lily causing the death of a cat, I thought I had better write to you.
Two years ago during our Easter dinner celebration, we moved our Easter lily to make room for some guests. We relocated it too close to our cockatiel, and after he nibbled some of the petals, we later found him dead.
So, Abby, Easter lilies aren't safe for birds either. -- MARGARET IN TUCSON
DEAR MARGARET: What a sad story. Perhaps the safest place for the Easter lily was on the poor little creature's grave. Bird lovers, be warned.
