Harry rescues Sally after she is hit by a car, tapes her injured wing, and buys worms for her to eat. He even goes to the library to study up on birds. 'Did you know you're a Green Tufted Tropical?' he asks. 'You're supposed to be way down south this time of year. Cold weather could kill you!' Sally simply stares out the window, looking sad. One day Harry feels something is following him. And the tree outside his window is full of birds - Green Tufted Tropicals. 'You can't have Sally', he tells them. But they just won't leave. How will they ever survive the approaching winter? With exceptional humor and charm, Susan Meddaugh has created a tale of responsibility and affection, but with a surprising twist at the end - a sure smile-maker, a sure joy for every reader.
