Dude. Calm. Down. Should every bird that dies have a nice and peaceful funeral, with all of its avian relatives attending and sobbing to sad funeral music?
Yes, Osla, they did sell the bird. They stuffed it and sold it.
But I'm probably wrong. My source is Wikipedia. xD
EDIT: Calm down. It's wrong. There's no source that he sold it. xP Someone probably just made it up because they got bored.
