What a beautiful, brave and courageous bird you are, Lily! Our amazing, animal companions teach us so much about meeting the challenges of life, and coming out victorious! What an inspiration your story is, what an inspiration you are! I think your wise Mom hit the nail on the head...you had to learn how to be a bird before you would learn to love and trust humans! Kudos to not only your devoted human for standing by you through those tough times, but to your flock of feathered friends as well for mentoring you, for taking you under their wings, for teaching you how to "fly," to enjoy life, and ultimately your people! Success stories such as yours are what the best of Pet Talk is all about, and we're honored to have you as our extra special and most deserving, Sunday Pet of the Day! Enjoy your well earned day in the spotlight Lily, and each and every moment of your blessed, new life! Love and gentle cuddles to you, and to all of your feathered friends! (And special thanks to Second Chance Birds for all of their hard work, helping success stories such as yours become a reality!)
