When Wendy Albright first saw Sweet Pea, the cockatoo was almost unrecognizable—nearly bald, fragile, battling seizures, and listed on Craigslist as if her life didn’t matter. But Wendy looked past the broken feathers and trembling body. She saw a soul still fighting to live, and she chose her.

What followed was nothing short of a transformation. With patience, medicine, and endless love, Sweet Pea began to heal. Day by day, her feathers returned, but more importantly—her spirit blossomed. The once-terrified bird turned into a gentle companion, full of joy and mischief.

Today, Sweet Pea doesn’t just thrive—she shines. She barks like the family dog, cuddles children with tenderness, and spreads comfort to anyone who needs it. She has become more than a pet; she’s family, a healer, a reminder of resilience.

As Wendy says with tears in her eyes: “I didn’t save Sweet Pea. She saved me.” 🌟
