Yesterday we went to a fundraiser for Free Flight Exotic Bird Sanctuary. The fundraiser was a 68th birthday party for Obi (an Umbrella Cockatoo). ![](http://cooperscorner.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/o1.jpg)
The birds celebrated with treats. And there were treats for the humans, too.![](http://cooperscorner.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/food.jpg)
Here we are with Timmy (an Eclectus we sponsor) and Braidy, my new love.

There are birds available at Free Flight to adopt or sponsor.![](http://cooperscorner.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/sponsor.jpg)
We now sponsor Ozzie, too. Who could resist this little cutie?
Everyone sang “Happy Birthday” to Obie. He and the other cockatoos seemed excited by the singing – all the crests went up. Here is the birthday boy with a yummy walnut.![](http://cooperscorner.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/o2.jpg)
Happy birthday Obie!
