This book is about a male rainbow lorikeet named Winston, that was bred by a commercial breeder, and then on sold to a pet store located in an outback Australian town, where he languished for a year, due to his aggressive behaviour, before a kindly old lady purchased him.

Initially the story is about their relationship until Winston is unexpectedly turned loose after spending his whole life in captivity. Then the book tells the story about the places he visits; the people he meets, while trying to survive in the wild without any prior experience.

Autorenporträt
Taylor wrote the acclaimed novella "High Seas Cowboy," which is about transporting cattle and horses by sea, plus twelve other published short stories. He strives to bring the language to life without pretence and in a conversational way that makes it easy reading for all ages. He is an environmentalist who loves the Australian bush and its fauna which shines through in his writing. The rainbow lorikeet, which this book is basically about, has captivated him since childhood. He and his wife, Jeanne, have a rural property in South Australia.
