I lived on a farm so I was always around animals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many pets did you have as a kid?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I had about 8 animals growing up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you ever have a really sad experience with an animal when you were young?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My worst memories with my pets was losing them, whether it was death or them running away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the first animal you rescued?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I rescued many cats growing up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve been called an \u201cAnimal Whisperer.\u201d How do you think this gift came to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Animals and I naturally gravitate towards one another which is a blessing. I think it\u2019s because I don\u2019t fear them and I also respect them so they will reciprocate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many birds do you have right now? Tell us a bit about each one.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I currently have 4 parrots. Leo was my first and he talks the most. He\u2019s very sweet and likes to sing. Charlie is my blue and green Macaw. He is very grumpy, but also sweet with me. Athena is our only girl. She\u2019s a sassy little lady. She also picks up new words easily. Mars is my Scarlett Macaw who lived in a shelter for 5 years. He\u2019s my sweet boy. He likes to pretend he\u2019s tough but he\u2019s a huge baby. Unfortunately, he has anxiety and tends to pluck his chest feathers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which one is your favorite?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have a favorite. I love them all equally.
