Good afternoon Mitch,
I have an Umbrella Cockatoo that just turned 16 years old this month. I have had him since he was 6 months.
Lady and the Tramp (1955) Lady doesn’t know the real names of her owners, she calls them Darling and Jim Dear. This is because she only knows them by what they call each other. Darling is what Jim calls his wife and his wife calls him Jim dear.
