PONTE VEDRA, Fla. - One of Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow's fans can fit in the palm of your hand.

Alice Kahoe has been a Tebow fan since when played for the University of Florida Gators.

"I'm a Gator and Tebow signed my jacket," she said.

There is another fan in her house as well: her bird.

"Lou Lou became my TV cheerleader for the Broncos and we go: 'Go Tebow,' 'Run Tebow run!' and then all of a sudden she started talking," Kahoe said. "When she said, 'Touchdown Tebow,' that was it."

The bird has managed to shout out her own cheers for Tebow.

"I said, 'I got to get this on tape. My Quaker is talking Tebow all the time,'" Kahoe said.

The bird says, "Tebow football," and "Good morning, Tebow."

"I love it when she says touchdown and bobs her head up and down," Kahoe said.

Lou-Lou became a special comfort to Kahoe after her special needs daughter died just after her 38th birthday. Kahoe and her daughter used to enjoy watching the Gators play, and now she shares those moments with her pet Lou-Lou.
