A "tuckoo", Li'l Crucey, is indeed a bird but hardly flightless.
With primary nesting in the Palau and Narau archipelagoes, the tuckoo bird (lecoque havenensis) flutters tremulously south to Australia during the antipodal winter and north to the Eurasion sub-continent during the post-tropical wet months. Few remain there now.
My antecestors hit the windows of the British colonizers of Hong Kong. They were taken in and tenderized with western ways, which led to passage back to the big island two gentrifications later. I am the rare result of this flight, but I am not the only. Others are like me.
For the fortune of my capture, I received the rigor of culture at bordering schools nearly the best back in England. So though I can fly, I don't, at least not in normal. I fligh for exercise of the old feeling and in emergency.
Like my education, it is a gift.

Yes. I'm so glad you have read "A Portrait." It is an extraordinary book, though the doors don't open easily.
And it's good to hear from you, young master Crucifer. My infantile moniker takes from the first page of "Portrait," indeed, but the attitude is pure American, despite what Prim says.
I'm afraid that I won't be frequently here, for the same reasons as before. But I think of you all always.
I'll be landing in Copenhagen in July, bound for Southern Sweden.
Parma????
