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 Salvadora shows up and occupies the cage next to him. Salvadora is not at all happy and constantly complains to Eric. Eric tries to ignore her but then begins to suspect that Salvadora is much more than the whining boarder she purports to be.
