Feathers fly when a penniless wildlife artist accidentally traps
the world's last living Paradise Parrot in the ramshackle ghost
town he shares with his enigmatic pet wallaby and a mysterious
Indian barrister. It seems everyone has a claim on the soon-famous
bird, and the reclusive and unworldly young painter finds himself
up against government bureaucrats, animal protection officials,
police, the courts, the gutter press, and an eccentric
multi-millionaire birdwatcher with madcap plans of his own. Nothing
else for it but to take flight into the great Australian bush where
the artist, his brilliant and beautiful newly discovered zoologist
sister, a pompous university professor and an obsessed taxidermist
lose their inhibitions, their clothes - and in some cases their
minds - living with, and learning to think as, wild kangaroos. In
his and her own way, every key character in Andrew Thelander's
hilarious, sometimes touching, often profoundly wise, tale is a
'Last Bird' ... an utterly unique, wildly exotic example of an
endangered species.
