What kind of pet do you have (dog, cat, bird, etc.)? Bird (Cockatoo)
What is your pet’s name? Olli
How did you come up with this name? We rescued him from a man whose wife was the "bird person" in the house and she had passed away. He didn't want/couldn't afford the bird anymore. So he came with his name but spelled Ali and says it all the time. We changed the spelling because people kept calling him "Ally".
