      Dedication

      This book is dedicated to the late Michael Burke, owner of the

      Yahoo groups Tielchatter and Tielfriends for 16 years.

      Michael loved his birds and was dedicated to the proper

      care of our winged companions.

      He is most definitely the inspiration for the writing of this story.
