Birdy a skinny kid obsessed with birds and flying, and his muscled atheletic friend intrested in girls are an unlikely pair, yet they spent much time together growing up having interesting experiences as boys. They keep pigeons for a while then Birdy becomes obsessed with canaries. He builds an avariy and breeds canaries. He spends hours watching them wishing he could fly, could be a bird himself. He falls in love with a female canary, Perta, and nightly dreams that he is a canary and is Perta's mate. They raise a dream family.

Birdy and Al join the army in world war II. Birdy ends up in a mental ward, catonic and acting like a bird. Al is badly injured and is sent back to the States for operations and plastic surgery. Al visits Birdy in the mental ward and talks to him eventually bringing him out of his catatonic-birdlike state. They both have discovered things about themselves they don't like to face, but they talk things out and help each other to face the their futures.

There are discriptions of horrible combat which have a viceral impact on the reader. Why must mankind throw their young men in front of cannons, mines, machine guns, sharpnel? It is horrible.
A facinating readable book.

Very good purchase. Quick and satisfactory shipping.
5 hours of my life I will never get back.
A wonderfully schizoid story of two friends (complete opposites) that are bound together by inquisitive spirits as children and existentialist meltdowns as adults. It's very touching. There are also (I thought) emotional parallels between this story and Slaughterhouse Five.
One of the best books I've ever read. The movie's not bad, either.
I was so surprised at how quickly I received my book 'Birdy'. It was an older one, in pretty good condition according to the seller .. I was very pleased with the condition as it had never even been opened from what I see .. an older book, but as 'new' as it was the day it was originally purchased! Very nice surprise!
This book is so weird, and completely fascinating. Wonderful perspective into the life of birds, and people.
I really enjoyed this. I first was exposed to the movie which captured the books essence. It's set to different time periods but still is true in so many ways. Truly loved it!
