Julie's Peregrim (2008 Winner)

"Peregrim, or Grim for short, is a two year old Cockatiel who spends his days with me hitching rides on my shoulder as I go about my daily activities at home or inspecting his reflection and shadow when I'm out. He's a bit mischievous and tries to nibble on the sides of books as I read (sometimes out loud to him), steal food from my plate instead of his when he thinks I'm not looking, and complains on the occasions I attempt to sing. Yet, he's been more of a friend to me than most people and he always knows when I need a good cuddle. We may make an odd flock of two but I wouldn't have it any other way and if I move west for college he will no doubt be journeying along with me. "
