Friday arrived on horseback, in the saddle bag of an itinerant trader.I was six years old and living in northern Nigeria.We'd had pets before, but Friday was different a handsome African grey parrot with a bright-red tail who swiftly claimed a place in the family pecking order.Only Mum ranked above him as we assumed her to be, until she hit puberty at around seven years old and laid an egg (an existential shock for us all).
