Dearest Otto, you are absolutely stunning! What a gorgeous Lutino Cockatiel you are, with those white and yellow feathers and that sweet face that looks so innocent but hides quite a streak of mischief. Sometimes you surprise people with ear nips! You know better than to do it to your dear person, but sometimes you'll do it to visitors before your person can warn them. Your person and you love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Otto, 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 treats and games, without ear-nips, I hope!

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