First edition of the Nobel Prize-winning author's classic collection of short stories. Octavo, original cloth. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket painting by Desmond Digby.
The wild and beautiful birds of the title are the cockatoos who - welcome trespassers in a suburban garden - transform the lives of those they condescend to visit.
