The outstanding story of Piti and Grandma Canary

Tato's everyday life turns upside down because of a new b orn canary chick expelled from its nest. When he fi nds it on the ground about to be devoured by ants, he feels pity and decides to do as much as possible to keep that little being alive. The resulting process will affect his daily life routine and will, fi nally, involve everybody at home. Little by little that tiny animal will conquer the heart of every member of his new host family. It will, gradually, grow and fi ll the lives of those humans with both, funny and emotional anecdotes. The bird's often unpredictable behaviour showed hints of an outstanding intelligence for such an insignifi cant canary chick. As grandma canary says: “This bird is very intelligent!” … and in effect, it will fi nally amaze everybody.

Àngel Biosca was born in Lleida in 1963. The most important experience in his life occurred at the age of twelve when he was playing football in the playground of his school. A breeding bird fell at his feet, like a raindrop from the sky, and he picked it up. He thought that anybody could play football so badly but he, alone, could do something for that little animal. Therefore, he forgot about football and devoted himself to birds. Teacher of English and Physical Education, works in a school placed in a forest, in full nature. This way, he has been able to enjoy his two passions: education and ornithology.
