00:00They looked at each other, and it was like a soulmate kind of thing.
00:09She's a good bird.
00:12I don't think that's happened before.
00:16She always goes back to you.
00:19I know.
00:20My friend Deborah Jo has a wildlife sanctuary.
00:23We're all like, oh, how cool to visit a little rehab place.
00:29And then Deborah brought out the bird, and that's when all the magic happened.
00:37We were just all shocked, because the umbrella cockatoos, they're very loyal to like one person.
00:41And they stay far away from everybody else.
00:44I guess we got a bird.
00:46She's going to steal it.
00:54We literally spent three hours there.
00:58Her and my grandpa always had lovebirds at home.
01:01My grandpa did pass away, so I don't know if maybe he sent her the bird.
01:07When we were walking out, my grandma was asking me in Italian when we were going to go back to visit.
01:12Pita?
01:14You mentioned that Pita's birthday is coming up, so we would love to send you a little gift that Grandma can give to Pita.
01:19Okay, yeah. Great. Let's see how it goes.
01:22Are you happy? Yeah?
01:25On the way to go see Pita.
01:29It's your birthday, and your favorite person's coming.
01:34And that's Grandma!
01:46The bird was really excited to see my grandma again.
01:53They had such a great bond.
02:01She sat on her shoulder, and he sat on her lap the entire time.
02:06Pita!
02:07Do you think your grandma reminded her of someone?
02:12I do know that Pita belonged to somebody else before my friend rescued her, and that person passed away.
02:20So, maybe, yeah.
02:27When my grandma brought out the gift, she held the gift up for her.
02:32We rubbed the gift on my grandma's sweatshirt.
02:37She loved the gift.
02:40My friend lives an hour away, so it's quite a deal to go back, but we'll visit again.
02:46They have such a great bond.
02:49When we were actually leaving, the bird did go on top of her walker.
02:54The connection they have is like love at first sight.
02:58They just love each other.
03:05Say hello. Say hello.
