OMG - I almost started crying when I read that. I received a similar gift a few months after I put my beloved Scottie Mimosa a/k/a Mimi the Sheep down. I was devastated. Then, not only was she in the video, but the video was on national television and there she was winking at me. I never felt better. So, I am THRILLED for you. Also, I have to give you kudos for taking a bird of uncertain age into your fold. That is so great of you. People do not realize these birds often outlive their owners and then have nowhere to go. I have seen that situation drive them mad and made them self-mutilate. In fact, a friend of mine and the breeder of my dogs is taking care of a self-mutilated bird who literally went mad after her owner of 60 years died and no one wanted her - she just sat on a perch all day long with little to no care. It is heartbreaking to see it. But, the bird after like three years calmed down and things are better, which is a good thing. Sadly, her feathers on ber breast and wings will not grow back. So, my hat is off to you my friend for providing a great home for such magnificent animals!!!!!!!!
