The wife of the Master of the Aviary is ambitious - both for herself and for her husband. She is convinced that the occupants of the Aviary Tower are overlooked by others at the palace. Especially the Duke and Duchess ! They do not acknowledge the work of vital importance undertaken by her husband. The hours of scrawling in dusty tomes and watching ,ever watching!
A Society beauty with a penchant for travelling - a Grand Tour took in Istanbul amongst other places, she has devoted the past ten years to the Aviary Tower and its mission. Now she languishes forgotten by Society and loved only ( she wrongly feels) by her birds. The birds great and small, alive or mounted fill her room giving it an acrid smell all of its own.
She has a plan- she will send a message by carrier bird to her former lover the Sultan. He will advise her, he will not have forgotten her - in him her earthly salvation will lie....

Ahrrr... Love, romance...
Thus the oncoming question will appear brutish: among the birds, are there some (delicious) ones from Ny Tradgarland known elsewhere as 'turkeys'?
