The "Nike Report" Part ll: the 'before' and the 'after'....

Some months ago, a dear friend shared rather sad news that her allergies made it impossible to keep their beautiful pet bird (of 30 years). Nike had to be donated to a bird sanctuary near their home. The thought was that a new home with a family could be found. The good news is that Nike has adjusted to the sanctuary very well! When school children come to visit, he is a performer and "instructor" and clown. He loves the attention; the sanctuary is considering keeping him as a permanent resident.
