‘Birdsong’ by James Saunders
Joey and Tinker are happy companions, sharing a cage.
Into their lives is thrust Trixie – an unhappy foul-mouthed trouble-maker who only wants to be free.
Tinker cannot convince Trixie that the outside world is horrid but Joey evolves a plan whereby they can secure her escape by faking a fight ..... But ....
Tinker has been thoroughly rattled by Trixie’s chanting
and strangles her in the mock fight
