This is an article (with a video) of how neglected and abused parrots are helping veterans with PTSD in a place called Serenity Park in LA. It's just a 'feel-good' story and I think I had already posted about these people but, personally, I can always use a bit of 'feel-good' news -especially nowadays with things been so bad in USA. And I identify 100% with the "I like birds better than people" sentiment!
