Once a year I got taken to The Zoo. On a Monday, because it was cheaper to get in. Corned beef sandwiches wrapped in grease proof the night before. And we always walked from Camden Town to save a bit on the fare.
As you went through the turnstiles there were birds of prey to your right, left to see the humming birds. And on the way a whole series of cages containing finches, weaver birds, lyre birds, and peafowl.

Every day, since my arrival in Delhi, I have seen birds that could be from those cages (with labels in English and Latin, and a distribution map.) And though I don't know what they are, it's as exciting as a day at the zoo to see them flying free
