For Feather the 53-year-old cockatoo, life has turned around after spending 15 years alone in a gloomy basement. The bright bird now spends her days wrapped in love as part of a young family and one special member, in particular, is her favorite.
In the first week of April 2021, Stephanie Vito, who was pregnant with her first child, took Feather to stay at her Pennsylvania home with the intention of finding a suitable sanctuary for the rescue bird at a later date. The very next month, Vito’s baby daughter was born.
