Photograph caption dated October 29, 1957 reads "David Sholl, 9, of North Hollywood watches his pet parakeet 'Petey' as he spins blissfully around track on his electric train engine. David received his feathered pet as a birthday present and trained him to ride on train after only 15 minutes work. Petey now demands full three turns around miniature track before he will climb down."
