I thoroughly enjoy your collection and I applaud the work that SOS is doing as a non-profit to take care of unwanted animals. Furthermore, I imagine that you are volunteering there and there is hardly anything more important in this world than donating your time to a good and worthy cause. I have volunteered to animal causes for the better part of my life..the last 25 years, including Care for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife down on Sanibel Island. Rocky is without a doubt a domesticated animal who won't be returned to the forest in Indonesia. His former "owners" probably didn't have the time or where with all to give him all the attention that he needed and when he became destructive or violent they had no alternative but to look for someone else to care for him. Calling him by name denotes that you treat him with care and affection which is, by nature, the definition of a pet. Please make the change of category when you edit this spotting with the genus, species, and link information. Thanks!

He is not a pet. He is a captive animal at a bird sanctuary. Thank you.
