Based on the 1993 New York Times Book of the Year, Lyman's job is spending nights helping people on the highway with engine trouble, other vehicle problems and accidents. He hasn't had time to develop any people relationships but he attends a lot of college classes. A parrot swoops into his home and starts talking. Lyman wants to reunite the bird with the rightful owner and he meets a librarian interested in helping him.
I enjoyed this, the bird is really special, Lyman and the librarian make a cute couple too. It's interesting seeing the difficulty of Lyman's job, the different people who owned the bird and how long he has lived. I particularly liked this film since I previously owned a bird similar to this one for several years. Plenty of amusing antics!! 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
