"The sick, kindly old man waved from his bed as the little grey parrot gave one last look over his shoulder. He shook his red tail feathers, as if saying goodbye, and gave a last little “Hoot". He thought he saw Otis wipe away a tear as the door was shut, closing a chapter on a twenty-one-year friendship."
