Loveykins
Following a blustery night, Angela Bowling finds a baby bird blown out of his nest. She names him Augustus, and he quickly becomes more to her than just a bird to be looked after. He's her little Loveykins. But Augustus is growing larger and rounder and soon requires a special garden shed to house him. He seems content enough... until another night brings even stronger winds.
