nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Do birds talk Of course they do! Some, as Mark Twain said, can talk a blue streak, while others have a very limited vocabulary - not all that unlike humans, after all! Billy is a little sparrow who lives in sunny South Africa. In his own peculiar way he tells us a bit about himself, his great love, Sally, their children, their friends and foes. And there is Madame Helena De Troy, an old owl lady who lives in the church tower behind the tree where their nest is. Together they contemplate the meaning of life and death and when Billy finally gets the answer, it is something which also has meaning for us. Seller Inventory # 9781491890806

About the Author: Jacques van Heerden is a zoologist by training who now specialises on pseudoscorpions. He lives in Louis Trichardt, Limpopo Province, South Africa with his wife, Elza. They have been married for 44 years, have three sons on three different continents, one English and one American daughter-in-law, and four grandchildren who are just too far away to hug!
