And so photogenic! He was very chatty – if you talked ..read more

Several of our friends got together and made a donation in Cooper’s honor to Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue. Mickaboo rescues companion birds who have been neglected, injured, abused or surrendered. They provide medical and supportive care and ensure that they will have a safe, loving environment for life. We can’t think of a better way to commemorate Cooper’s life.
