Mr. Potter's Pet — Dick King-Smith

BIRDS OF A FEATHER
When shy Mr. Potter shops for the pet of his dreams, he hopes to find a playful companion. Instead, he ends up with Everest, a feisty mynah bird with a mind and voice of his own. No mere talking parrot, Everest is not content to remain in his cage for long. Free to fly around, Everest slowly takes charge of Mr. Potter's life, and he even succeeds in reuniting Mr. Potter with his one true love.
