It’s My Birthday But The Gift Is For You

It’s my birthday so no links post today. However, I couldn’t resist sharing the videos below. The second one is good for a giggle if you like cats and dogs. The first video proves cats are capable of great patience and that cockatoos have a sense of humor. Enjoy!
