"Excuse me, mate, any chance of some water in here?" When Jason Peters finds Squawky, a ring-necked parakeet, in his birdbath one day, little does he suspect that he's in for the adventure of a lifetime. Because Squawky is no ordinary bird-brain, but one of a group of highly intelligent 'intellibirds' developed and trained secretly by MI5 to guard the security of the UK. But Squawky has defected from MI5 after refusing his last assignment, and is hiding out in Jason's garden from an MI5 assassin, the beautiful but evil 'Sureshot' Stephens. Jason befriends Squawky, helping him to survive, but falls in love with Sureshot who, when she fails to kill Squawky kidnaps his mate, Louise. Squawky swears revenge, leading Jason into bizarre adventures involving Carrion crows, Seagulls, Ravens from the Tower, a crazy woodpecker, grave robbing, the CIA and a terrorist plot in London. Who wins? Dare you read on?
