Robirda draws on her years of experience with pet birds in this large-print book, to tell the tale of Flicker, a brash young canary who finds himself suddenly swept away from everything he knows and having to make his own way in the world. Beginning with hatching and ending almost twenty years later, Flicker's journey brings him several close encounters with death, along with joy, tears, laughter, and pain. Read Flicker's story, and along the way you will find you have gained a wealth of insight into the world as experienced by our pet birds. Oh, and yes, there is indeed an angel; a "canary" angel.
