Aesop was a Greek storyteller. He was born around about 620BC. His stories are known as fables which are stories that have a moral to them. I knew a few of them but I did not realise he had written so many that included birds until I came across this lovely little website called Cockatiel Cottage. The rest of the site is dedicated to looking after Cockatiels.

I write regularly about birds on my birding blog. Check it out - if only for the photos of Australian birds.
