So much for highlighting the adoptables: At the Refuge tonight, I found that one of my favorite Permanent Residents, Comet the Umbrella Cockatoo, had been moved to a different cage in a different room. She has always been rather easily startled, but since she… Continue Reading “Permanent Residents”
