“Bailey is studying to be a veterinarian and has a lot of pets to keep her company,” writes Shari, Bailey’s friend. “This is Koi Koi, a cockatiel about seven years old. Koi Koi is a bird of few words but loves attention. He particularly likes to say ‘Pretty bird,’ as that is what he is!”

He sure is!

Yes, Koi Koi, you ARE a pretty bird!
