Books
Theo is an African Grey parrot who has the unique ability to tell his own story. He's a channeled combination of Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker and Gandhi. We follow his adventures through a colorful cast of keepers landing him in The White House as The First Bird. Along the way we're treated to his take on the follies and triumphs of mankind in their pursuit of The Bad Karma Diamond.
Where's the priceless Bad Karma Diamond? Only Theo, The First Bird, knows and he'll tell the whole story to anyone who'll listen. But can a parrot really talk? And just how could a parrot write a book in the first place?
These and deeper questions are answered as we follow the life of an African Grey Parrot and his keepers from a pre-World War Two gardener in San Diego to the halls of the present day White House. During the search for the diamond we learn what Theo has to say about mankind, from our worst sins to our most shining attributes. |
