While going through files I backed up to a new hard drive, I found this picture of Farrel, our Umbrella Cockatoo and his life long friends. The chickens were raised from chicks in a swimming pool covered with wire and lived right underneath Farrel's cage. He was the first thing they saw in the morning and the last at night. When the chickens went to an outside area, Farrel would open his cage....waddle out to the chain link fence...climb it and roost with the chickens.

Whenever we couldn't find Farrel, that's the first place we looked. They seemed to enjoy his company and they all snuggled up for the night.
