Willie got Snowball when the bird was tiny. Today both the store owner and his daughter Kelsey are really fond of him and looking at how comfortable Snowball looks perched on Willie's shoulder.It becomes clear the bird couldn't imagine a better family.

威利在“雪球”很小的时候就开始饲养它。如今店主和他的女儿凯尔西都很喜欢他, 看“雪球”坐在威利的肩上很舒服的样子。显然,无法想象这只鸟能有一个更好的归宿。
