Too Many Birds

Last summer a long-time student and friend of mine, Lily Strassberg, was an intern at our company. She was also helping out with some parrots at a pet store in Boston and wanted me to go see her favorite birds. So one day after work we went together. The store had a lot of psittacines, all right, some of them out of their cages and very tame. Nice. The owner was perhaps more of a hobbyist than a bird seller.

There were also some pretty little finches of various sorts. I have an aviary in my dining room. A canary used to live in it; it was a nice bird, friendly with a huge loud song, but he died of a tumor. For a long time the cage has been empty, which has been a good thing, too.
