>> oh, yeah. >> reporter: what is this relationship between the two of you? >> i think she immediately saw something in me that i needed, you know? she makes me feel like i'm important to her. i can't explain it because i don't know enough about parrots or birds or anything, but it's just a great feeling. >> reporter: it's called venti park. zoe and three dozen other birds are part of an animal therapy program that pairs them with vets at serenity park suffering with ptsd. the veterans say that somehow the parrots can connect with them in a way that no human therapist ever could. >> that's my girl. >> reporter: how do you feel when you come to this place? >> this is like coming back to home for me. >> reporter: lily love is a former coast guard rescue swimmer who has lost nearly all of her buddies in a chopper crash. >> that's my boy. >> reporter: since then she's battled depression and drug abuse, came out as transgender and spent a lot of time in therapy. >> let's see your big wings, up, up. >> reporter: nothing worked until she started coming here. >> up, up. i like these birds better than people to tell you the truth. >> reporter: you joke about that, but you get along pretty well with people, and that's because of the birds you think in part? >> definitely. they taught me patience. they taught me trust. they taught me all about how you can be happy and playful, even in the midst of pain. >> reporter: you still have the pain? >> it will probably never leave, but it's okay. >> reporter: so tell me about these guys. this place was all her idea. psychologist lorin lindner used to take parrots to another place she ran north of l.a. and was surprised how well parrots and vets got along. >> all of a sudden i see this transformation come over them. they would be holding the birds in their arms and calling them sweet terms and i hadn't seen that in the group therapy i'd been doing with them. >> reporter: so ten years ago lindeer in got the va medical center to give her enough land to set up a few bird cages. and with a budget based solely on donation, serenity park was born. >> hello. >> reporter: there's no hard scientific evidence to explain why parrots seem to help people suffering from ptsd. the thinking is that the traumatized birds and the traumatized vets share a common bond that somehow seems to soothe their souls. hey, cutie. hello. hello. >> hello. >> reporter: let me just ask you, what would you say the people that say, come on, this sounds so hippie dippy, parrots and veterans,? >> do you have a dog? parrots are a flock creature. they imprint. they have social nuances that make they say, you are who i want to follow for life, and they're ma -- mow gnawing muss, pretty rare these days. >> reporter: but that loyalty can be a double-edged sword. parrots need near constant attention, and some, when left alone, will scream for hours on end or tear out their own fet centers desperation. harvard university researcher irene pepperberg says few people are prepared for a parrot in their lives. >> imagine taking a five-year-old child, putting it in a play pen with a few toys and a few snacks for ten hours a day. it doesn't work that way. >> good girl. >> reporter: what's more, a parrot can be a lifetime commitment. >> because they live forever. i won't say forever, but 40, 50 years is very common. >> reporter: as a result, parrots can outlive their original owners, and those that do are often abused or discarded. most of the serenity park birds went through hell at some point in their lives, just like the people who now care for them. >> reporter: there is an unspoken communication between one sentient being that has sensed trauma and another. >> reporter: and you feel that? >> you feel that. >> reporter: serenity park operations manager matt simmons is a former navy man whose job it was to keep track of bomb damage and body count. parrots like phoebe here are helping him live with the memories. >> if you go to a shelter and you say, oh, i love that dog, that dog is going to go home with me, that dog is more than likely going to accept that relationship. but with a parrot that can fly, lives in a huge aviary, has no other reason to be with you other than self-selection, when they select you, it's unique, it's special. and that's something a lot of our veterans and myself coming home didn't feel. >> reporter: who would have thought the most beautiful thing about a parrot -- >> do you want a kiss, phoebe? >> reporter: -- is its heart. >> good girl. good girl. ♪ saturday president park ♪ >> pauley: our destination is chicago. next. gary, gary, gary... i am proud of you, my man. making simple, smart cash back choices... with quicksilver from capital one. you're earning unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, everywhere. like on that new laptop. quicksilver keeps things simple, gary. and smart, like you! and i like that. i guess i am pretty smart. don't let that go to your head, gary. what's in your wallet?

[cheering and applause] >> reporter: lee loughnane, robert lamm and jimmy pankow are three of the seven original members of the band, college kids who chartered a course back in 1967. >> we're going to be a rhythm and blues band. we're going to be a rock band with horns. >> we were initially going to be a show band in vegas for the first probably... what, a month? >> that was the ultimate goal. >> yeah. >> and to some day make a record. >> reporter: on their quest to make a record, they left chicago for los angeles where they got a regular booking at whiskey-a-go-go. >> i remember going out in the corner, taking a picture of the marquee with my little brownie camera because our name was on the whiskey-a-go-go. we were the house band on the off nights. >> reporter: they didn't have top billing, but they did get noticed, in large part because of the talent of lead guitar player terry katz. >> we were coming off stage. there's a guy standing in the door way. it's jimi hendrix. he looks at us and says, "you guys got a horn section that sounds like one set of lungs and a guitar player that's better than me. you want to go on the road?" yeah, yeah, so we became jimi hendrix's opening act. >> reporter: chicago has been on the road every year since. ♪ saturday in the park i think it was the fourth of july ♪ they've sold more than 100 million records, made 36 albums and have more than 20 top-ten singles. ♪ ♪ in april they performed for their induction in the rock & roll hall of fame, 37 million fans voted to put them there. they recorded their first album in 1969. it was only the beginning of a string of hits. back then they called themselves "chicago transit authority," the city's real transit authority objected, or so the story goes. >> some fella came into the control room, and he was saying, why don't you just call yourself chicago? and then he left. i don't even know who this guy was. and we all sort of looked at each other, that's a great idea. >> reporter: so the name was changed not because the chicago transit authority was going to sue you? >> i think that was somebody's idea of a good p.r. hook. >> reporter: along with the name change came the logo on their second album. from then on chicago, written this way, would never mean the city. it would only mean the band. the logo is arguably more famous than any of you are. >> we've been hiding behind that logo for 50 years. ♪ i'm so happy >> reporter: with that second album, they started to get radio play. >> the d.j. comes on and goes, "here's a new song by a new group called chicago that's destined for number one." that's us on the radio. we got a single! ♪ make me smile >> reporter: their albums didn't have names, just numbers, the way classical composers numbered symphonies. >> looking back, of course, it was a grand vision, because if it had been one or two album, it would have been pointless. ♪ but tomorrow comes >> reporter: chicago 10, released in 1976, included the number-one hit, if the -- "if you leave me now." ♪ if you leave me now you'll take away the biggest part of me ♪ >> we had the midas touch and we could do no wrong. ♪ oh, now, please don't go >> we got spoiled. we got full of ourselves, like everybody does, you know, with stardom, quote/unquote. >> reporter: along with the fame came drugs, alcohol and tragedy. in 1978, terry kass died after accidentally shooting himself. the hits stopped coming. but chicago was not finished. ♪ everybody needs a little time away ♪ >> reporter: they got a new producer, david foster. he wanted less brass and more ballads sung by peter cetera. ♪ hold me now it's hard for me to say i'm sorry ♪ >> peter cetera was never crazy acted hornes from the get go, and the result was considerably less horn involvement, and that was a bit difficult to swallow for the horn section. >> reporter: the album chicago 16 put them back on the charts, and they were discovered by younger listeners who didn't know the old songs. ♪ you're the feeling in my life you're the inspiration ♪ you've said some people are puzzled while your first album is "chicago 16"?

i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? i spoke to my doctor and she told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... ...turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless you doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. >> pauley: even the greatest of sports superstars have to retire eventually, and contributor paul mecurio thinks he's just seen one of the classiest examples yet of just how it should be done. >> reporter: something truly remarkable happened this past week. five-time nba champion and two-time league m.v.p. tim duncan of the san antonio spurs retired after 19 seasons with one team. best power forward to ever play the game, and so you know i'm objective, this pains me to say since i'm a "die hard" boston celtics fan, and there was a certain other forwhard who wasn't chopped liver. what was remarkable was not the fact tim duncan retired but the way in which he retired and how emblematic that is of the type of player and man he is. >> i started not enjoying myself as much. it wasn't fun at times. >> reporter: he announced his retirement on a cell phone in what looks like his mom's dining room in a t-shirt. tim, come on, would a suit and tie kill you? >> it's crazy to me. it's crazy to me. >> reporter: no over-the-top press conference, no parade of unneeded retirement gift, no kobe's self-coordinated 6.1 retirement tour awrn the nba. and did you catch why he retired? it wasn't fun anymore. fun? tim, have you been transported here from another time? not an era of big time sports is not about fun. >> this kid out there flipped me the bird. >> it's about sneaker deals, unrestrained bad behaver and twitter followers. and this is what's truly remarkable about tim duncan. he's a throwback to a bygone era when players didn't care about any of that stuff because he was interested in quietly being great at their vocation to incredible work ethic. there was none of the fanfare or narcissistic behavior we see in so many athletes today. look, my son loves sports. sports has a big effect in shaping him. i can say tim duncan is the man i love my son to emulate, off the court that is. my kid is 5'6" with no signs of growing, so i don't think he's going to be winning dunk contests any time soon. yes, tim duncan might be the last of his breed, incredibly hard-working, dedicated, egoless, principled, in a word, remarkable. hey, you're clarence! yes, sir. you know, at the model year end clarence event, you can get a great deal on this 2016 passat. steve. yeah?
