Happy Gotcha Day to our dear little foundling European Starling, Rincewind. It's been a year since he fell from his nest under the roof, where it was impossible to return him, and we rescued him from becoming breakfast for local cats. He now says three things clearly, "Rincewind," "Pretty bird!" and "Hello, sweetie." We're working on "Eggses, my precious." He also imitates sounds from the computer and my glucose monitor. He loves watching murder mystery shows and Doctor Who. He enjoys Terry Pratchett audiobooks, too.
In this picture he's harkening to the next generation of his relatives who can be heard through the ceiling squawking for their parents to feed them.
