Features: Audrey and Charlie tell an incredible story together, covering world events to family trivialities. A sailor kidnapped Charlie in the interior of Australia and sold him to a despicable Hong Kong opium dealer. After being rescued, Charlie repaid her kindness with 25 years of rooster crowing and a unique parrot teaching method. He traveled the world with the Topping family and finally settled in Scarsdale, New York. In this suburb, Charlie settled down as usual, built a new home in a tree in the yard, and could speak six languages, including Chinese, English, Spanish, and Crow language. He was self-taught and possessed unique practical knowledge.
