Dearest Nero, what a beautiful Yellow-Sided Green Cheek Conure you are, in both appearance and spirit. Your coloring is absolutely gorgeous, so striking! You have a delightful personality and make your dear dad smile with your antics and energy. And you are a born healer, giving him the support and comfort and love he needs when he is revisited with horrible PSTD flashbacks and nightmares. How perfect and blessed it is that you and he have come together! You love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Nero, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear dad and your peach-faced love-bird girlfriend Virginia and your other feathered housemates and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe even a special serving of egg-whites and steamed corn and applesauce!

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