 Parrot Island--Articles
Well, after learning about this bird (the breeder was keeping her as a pet as she was his first successfully bred Dusky Pionus) that was named "Pea" I decided that this was going to be the next type of bird I would own as a pet.
Merlin was as different from the few other Pionus that I had worked with (wild-caught Maximillians and White Caps) as he was from the cockatiels that I had started out on my life long relationship and eventual business with birds.
Merlin on the other hand was into and interested in everything and everyone from the time that he could stumble across his incubator to investigate it.

As soon as the bird is fitted with all the necessary equipment I sit in a quiet place with the bird bare-headed on the glove and try to feed her a few bites, most merlins (the best merlins) will eat within the first hour.

 The SF Site Featured Review: The Lost Years of Merlin, The Seven Songs of Merlin,
Merlin, who according to Geoffrey is supposed to have built Stonehenge, is likely the Christianized version of Myrddin, an early Celtic bard as well as a Celtic Sun God thought to have been worshipped at Stonehenge.
Merlin's development, his learning of his limitations, his struggle to repress his overbearing pride and "damn the world I'm doing what I want" attitude, and the practical and moral lessons of the seven songs all contribute to an excellent portrayal of what went into forming the great Merlin.
Another point, which may be overlooked given the targeted audience, is that Merlin, a healthy teenager, in close contact with Rhia, a very pretty wood nymph, under many dangerous and nerve-wracking situations, and not yet knowing she is his sister, has not the least physical attraction to her.
