Ask the Parrot

Parrots are awesome. Seriously, any animal that can talk is pretty damn cool. Like Parrots. And Humans. And I think Crickets, who chirp in Morse code. But that's it. But here's a twist: This book has a parrot that doesn't talk! Did you see that one coming? I bet you didn't. Because the title of the book is "Ask the Parrot," which leads you to believe some Parrot-on-human dialogue is going to happen. Sorry to piss on your parade float, but that's not going to happen. But there is a chapter from the perspective of the parrot, which you have to admit, is pretty cool. Oh, and there's lots of the usual crime and killing that are always in the Parker books.
