Greetings, beautiful Victoria and Alaric! Happy Pets of the Day to you!
What a heartbreaking, heartwrenching, ultimately heartwarming and life affirming story of love and survival is yours! I had tears in my eyes, Victoria, reading how terribly injured you were following that horrific attack, Victoria, learning of the unprecedented, unwavering devotion of your feathered soul mate, your defender and protector, the the love of your life, Alaric. Yours is truly a love story for the ages!
And blessedly, thanks to your human's loving care, noble Alaric's vigilenence and devotion, and your own indomitable spirit and will to survive you did recover, Victoria, healing physically and emotionally, learning to trust and enjoy life once more.The next afternoon, we found Victoria wounded on the ground. She was in shock, her eyelid was missing a peice, and the entire top of her head was bare and bloody. Blood ran from her nostrils and mouth. Her deformed beak was parted, and she panted. The rooster who loved her stood over her, guarding her from the others, and was with her when I took her inside, watching over her despite his own wounds.
What else to be said other than the love and devotion you two share is an inspiration to us all! How lucky you are to have one another, how blessed your human is, having two such beautiful, giving and loving best feathered friends in you two! Great thanks to human for sharing your beautiful story of love and survival with us. Meeting you, having the honor of paying tribute to two such amazing creatures, has made my morning a whole lot brighter! Enjoy your big day in the spotlight, Victoria and Alaric, spending some peaceful time out in the yard, side by side, being loved and pampered to pieces by your wonderful human! Lots of love and gentle cuddles to you, brave and beautiful Victoria and Alaraic, our very special and most deserving Pets of the Day, EVERY day! Long and happy life to you both!Alaric suits his name quite well - he's a noble, good creature, who gives everything to his special hen, Victoria. When she was on the verge of death, he stood beside her, defending her, even though he was also hurt. He could have reached his head down, and finished her off, as many birds are prone to do when there is blood, but he did not. He stayed in her cage while she healed, never once pecking at her or pushing at her, allowing her to eat and drink without arguing when she took food from him. He taught her not to fear other chickens, not to fear him, and played a significant part in her recovery. She learned to be less afraid, and it's helped Victoria to be able to come back to a group without cowering.
Inseprarable!!!

and the reason I always beg people around the world to keep their pets (like GPs and rabbits) inside their homes. I cannot bear to think of the horrific event your human described.
