In 2018, there were 1,745 birds living in 92 different zoos and collections. The individual I am pictured holding ( above ) was a friendly bird that (rather like a dog) seemed happy to be handled.

By most reckonings, the Northern Hemisphere is in the middle of the so-called dog days of summer. The dog days were thought by the ancients to be vexed by heat, storms, bad luck, pestilence, and madness – the perfect season for the perverse pleasures of playing tricks on the mind.
