MOUNT LEBANON, Pa. — The Pirate Parrot gave a nursing home resident the surprise of a lifetime for his birthday this week.

Timmy is a lifelong fan of the Pirates, and staff members say he’s obsessed with the Pirate Parrot.
So the non-profit Twilight Wish helped Timmy meet the parrot and have a birthday party.

“This memory, I hope, lasts him a lifetime,” Twilight Wish volunteer Christine Adams said. “He was thrilled with the whole thing, including the gift. You saw his reaction with the gift, and I think that says it all.”
The parrot also stuck around and met dozens of other residents.
