According to local Brooklyn mag Bedford and Bowery, Ventiko originally purchased Dexter and his mate Etta, for an art installation. She found a home for lovebirds and their offspring in a Miami garden when the exhibit was over, but Etta and her four chicks disappeared soon after. Ventiko flew back to Miami when she found out that Dexter was spending his time alone, and couldn't find a sanctuary or farm that would accept his behavioral issues. Instead, Dexter bonded with Ventiko, and they've been together since.
