This is Scooter. Her previous owners couldn't take care of her, but couldn't part with her, so they put her in boarding. Where she stayed in a too-small cage, unable to even spread her wings, for over a year. Finally they agreed to let her go, and she came home with me. Where she promptly staged a coup, overthrew the corrupt oppressive system (me and my other half) and appointed herself Empress. She rules the house with an iron claw.
