Happy Pet of the Day, beautiful Roxanna!

What a gorgeous girl you are, Roxanna! Your snow white plumage is breathtaking, though perhaps not as breathtaking as your back-story, your life! My jaw dropped, and I had to laugh, as I read your Mommy's account of your homecoming...counting up the $$$ and the miles traveled! I thought to myself, now this is one much wanted bird! (Your Mom sounds a lot like me! lol)

But I don't think even your Mom could have dreamed how perfectly it all would turn out! (Yep, good thing she hadn't read up on your species' um, proclivities beforehand!) My vet has a "resident" Cockatoo/official greeter in the waiting room, and oh yeah, they can "scream!" lol But I'm sure to your family, that occasional scream is more like a song, music to their ears! And besides, as your Mom says, you're not your average Cockatoo...you're one in a million!

And didn't you hit the forever family jackpot, Roxanna! Wow, what a wonderful, enchanted life! (Your Mom had me at cherry orchard...yum!) And being a 6 feeder hummingbird fanatic myself, I smiled from ear to ear picturing you and your Mom out on that front porch, watching those fearless, pesky hummers! But being the loving girl that you are, you give as good as you get, and your guests/customers at the orchard, the schoolkids, your furry siblings Abby and Gypsy, and most of all your Mom and Dad, are all so very blessed to know you, to have you to love and cherish! You're the best!

I hope you're enjoying your well earned day in the spotlight, Roxanna! It was truly a pleasure meeting you today! Long and happy life to you, beautiful girl!
