When Hunter’s father announces the family is leaving
the city to live in the mountains, Hunter doesn’t like the idea at all. While his
brother Demetre marvels over the landscape and wildlife, all Hunter wants is to
return to the city.
But before long Hunter starts to enjoy the stillness and
quiet of the mountains and animals they live amongst, and routinely feeds the
King Parrots. He is happy until the cockatoos move in. They name the leader of
the cockatoos Brian and it isn’t long before they muscle in, scaring the other
birds away and gnawing at everything in sight and splattering the family with
poo.
This fun picture book for children 8 years and over,
continues with the family against the cockatoos who have the last laugh outwitting
Hunter’s dad. Then Hunter comes up with a plan and looked at ways to live with
nature.
The illustrations are bold and colourful and add to
the pesky antics of the cockatoos.
