[Leica] IMG: Nathan's PAW 44: cycling and WrocÅ,aw

[Douglas Barry]

No John, that one wouldn't work. It's a cockatoo, and cockatoos stir up 
unhappy memories for the matriarch of this family, following an early 
morning trauma some years ago. She opened the back door to find an elegant, 
but sadly lifeless one deposited on the step by our cat Kofi. It was 
pristine except for the fang marks on its neck, and, no doubt, Kofi thought 
in his own furry way that it was a noble and prestigious present for his 
mistress. The cockatoo remover was summoned from his study.

I was afraid to ask in the neighbourhood whether anyone was missing a 
cockatoo.
