The Real Life Adventures of Benny the Budgie

The book is a collection of true stories about the author's memories of her childhood pet budgie, "Benny," and his many humorous antics and action-packed adventures from the time he was brought home as a young scared bird. The author tells the stories differently, in that, the stories are from Benny's point of view. In this manner, the story brings to life his personality and gives Benny a voice and feelings. The stories illustrate how Benny developed into a charming, inquisitive character, who looked for adventure and sought out new toys in things he found throughout his home and little world. Your heart will be captivated by this funny, warm and loving little body of feathers, who saw himself more human than budgie. The author from time to time has been called "The Bird Lady" and has had several pet budgies since those childhood years, but never one who lived up to the caliber of her famous "Benny." The author is now retired and resides in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada.
