PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — It’s a story of love lost – and found again.
It starts with Skippy, a black-necked stilt from Mexico.
“Mr. and Mrs. Skippy were actually an extraordinary couple,” National Aviary Veterinarian Dr. Pilar Fish said. “They did everything together.”
But Skippy’s mate became ill and died.
“Skippy cried – he mourned so much that he cried,” Dr. Fish said. “He stopped eating, he stopped grooming himself and he became incredibly weak because he was mourning so much.”
