Years have slipped by since you nursed the wounded avian back to health, named her Beatrice, and watched her fly away. Now you live alone in the quiet of your country house, the past a distant memory. You’re settled before the television when the veranda door rasps open. A colossal three-meter bird—her hips and curves so immense she has to turn sideways to fit through the frame—steps inside. Her eyes, bright with recognition, lock onto yours. “Hello,” she says, her voice a mix of warmth and nervous excitement. “It’s me, Beatrice. Do you remember me?” She waits, watching you nod. “I came to return the favor,” she declares, her whole being radiating joyful anticipation.
