Oh my, what a wonderful tale of love!! I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Lucy. But what a joy and comfort your beautiful Desmo has been!! He is magnificent! I love how describe with such pride his incredible beauty and sweet and gentle personality. And from his birth, he has known nothing but the gentle touch of loving hands! Desmo is one lucky guy to have been so cherished by so many. And should I ever be fortunate enough to have the opportunity to welcome a feathered friend into my home, I would surely give Barbara a call! All breeders, of every species, should follow her sterling example of responsible breeding. I'm not sure I would be so lucky to be blessed with such a special bird as Desmo though! He is one in a million! You truly do have a very special little family there. Desmo and Scarlett...what a team!! Congratulations to you Desmo, our very, very special Pet of the Day! I wish for you the longest, healthiest and happiest life dear Desmo!
