Crackers by John Cook

Eric, a fifty-year-old scarlet macaw enjoys reading the paper that lines his cage and watching his favourite daytime soap opera. Then young green amazon parrot Salvador shows up and occupies the cage next to him. Salvador is not at all happy and constantly complains to Eric. Eric tries to ignore him, but then begins to suspect that Salvador is much more than the whining boarder he purports to be.
