1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the clinic’s parking lot—a small wooden carving of a doctor, complete with stethoscope and smiling face, sitting right next to the loading dock. Curious, he picked it up and saw a note attached: 'For better service—Dr. Mayo.' The next day, another carving appeared, this time an angry-looking nurse wielding a syringe. A neighbor joked that maybe they should start calling it 'Mayo's Amusement Park'.

At least he keeps things interesting!’ And so, the little green parrot became a fixture at Mayo Family Clinic Northwest, greeting patients with chirps and occasional whistles until one day, a neighbor brought over some seeds for him.

Just then, an elderly gentleman walked by and asked if everything was alright. ‘Oh, just capturing nature’s little surprise,’ replied the driver.
