Cosmo is not a perfect bird. She bites. And she poops on the floor. (See “Areas Requiring Improvement” in her Feb. 5 annual evaluation.)

It is large, spotlessly clean, painted lime green, and inhabited by twenty-six colorful, highly intelligent and very vocal birds who reside in big cages full of toys. It has a kitchen dedicated to their feeding and an attached aviary for them to be outside in warm weather. It soon will have a huge flight cage.
