It is not often that a bird leaves an impression quite as significant as Monte Vista Small Animal Hospital’s beloved 24-year-old cockatoo and unofficial lobby greeter Thelma, who for her last few years called the animal hospital her home. Known to walk freely amongst clients and staff in the lobby, Thelma delighted everyone she met with her quirky personality and was “loved by all.” “Thelma was our companion for 24 years – longer than I’ve had my three children,” said Thelma’s owner and veterinarian Rob Santos.
