Dearest Jake, what a beautiful budgie you are! That multi-color plumage of yours is absolutely gorgeous, and you have the sweetest face with those lovely dark eyes. You also have the most delightful personality, which won your dear person over above all the other birds she/he has ever known. You're very sweet and inquisitive with a great zest for life, and you play constantly. You're a very talented singer, singing so much and always in excellent voice. You're a Soprano in your own Opera, it seems to your person! You both love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Jake, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
