A Man And His Macaw

A Great Falls man who lost his macaw in a divorce more than five years ago has been reunited with the bird, thanks to an observant friend. Mike Taylor picked up the 25-year-old bird he calls "Love Love" at Montana's Parrot & Exotic Bird Sanctuary in Butte on Sunday. Taylor said his wife sold the bird after a nasty divorce. "I've been kind of looking for him the whole time," he said. A friend of Taylor's, Steven Campbell, recently spotted the bird during a visit to the sanctuary/Montana Standard. More here.

Question: Have you ever lost something of great emotional value in a divorce?
