Dearest Sissi and Rocky, what beautiful birds you are! You are so pretty, with those gorgeous feathers and sweet faces. You both have delightful personalities too. I'd love to hear you sing along with your dear people as they listen to loud music or play their instruments. What a terrific birthday present you were for your two young sisters! You and they all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Sissi and Rocky, on being chosen today's Pets of the Day! We hope you and your dear young sisters and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe a special serving of bird food, fruits, and vegetables.
