Saint Paisios took care of any kind of animal he came across and he had a special relationship with a little bird he named Olet.
“At my kalyvi I not only have birds of the air, but all the animals come here – jackals, hares, ferrets, turtles, lizards, snakes – they get their full from the overflow of my love, and I am satisfied myself when they are satisfied, and all of us together, ‘the beasts, the cattle, the birds and the reptiles’, ‘Praise, Bless, and Worship the Lord.'”
