Bird of the Week: Radish the Scarlet Chested Parakeet

Wednesday September 10, 2008
In a place that would normally seem depressing, a little bird named Radish brings a splash of color and happiness into the lives of terminally ill children. Radish is a 2 year old Scarlet Chested Parakeet with an important job: making kids smile. While he himself had a rough start to life, Radish pulled through and now passes the days spreading cheer to everyone that sees him. Read all about Radish's story in his featured profile. You'll be impressed with the work that this tiny "nurse" has been doing!

Remember, your bird could be the next "Bird of the Week". Check out these handy submission guidelines to find out how!
