Kevin Ryan Memorial Fountain

My mother loved her birds and had various ones for over forty years. She was a gentle person who loved animals of all types. She was expert in the care and concern for cockatiels. I remember as a child having free-flying birds in her apartment. She loved the freedom the flight of the birds symbolized.
