Nancy Forrester and her favorite cockatoo. Nancy's Secret Garden was a little to secret, the donations she used to pay for the property and expenses were not enough and she had to let go of a lot of her property. Now she concentrates on rescuing Cockatoo's, Parrots, and other exotic birds that have been neglected, unwanted or sick. She finds good homes for the birds.
A lot to photograph in Key West;
