Bird brain: Malcolm Welshman's African Grey, PollySorry Polly. But it’s got to be done,’ I murmured as my African Grey squawked, muffled by the towel in which she was wrapped. With trembling hands, I parted her feathers and injected anaesthetic.
As Polly slipped into unconsciousness, her frantic shrieks died away. I stretched her out on the kitchen table, plucked her neck and then disinfected it. There was a growth — an ugly mis-shapen raspberry of tissue — pressing on her windpipe. If I didn’t operate, she would slowly asphyxiate and I would lose 20 years of loyal companionship.
Choice? There was none.

About 75 percent of the time, Awisa picked the undisturbed cup as the one that would contain a food treat. Credit: © Sandra Mikolasch
