Amica is a rhea—a flightless bird in the ratite family; related to ostriches; emus; and kiwis. Amica was adopted as a young chick and in turn quickly adopted mother and son Meadow and Washo Shadowhawk as his flock and made himself at home in their living room.Now an adult; Amica stands nearly six feet tall; and has a six-foot wingspan. By day he roams the backyard; exploring; running; and building nests; along with his friends the chickens and the dog. At night; he watches television and sleeps in the living room with his friend the cat.Whats it like living with a rhea? As youll discover in the words and photos in this book; it is never boring; and requires massive sacrifices. Rheas; which are typically hunted or raised as livestock; are highly intelligent and expressive; with a humanlike range of emotions. Amicarsquo;s extraordinary story shows the powerful and surprising connections that can be forged between humans and animals.

Thanks!By R. J. KargerBook delivered in good condition as advertised. Thank you!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Better than nothing. but just barely.By David GarlockThis is a printing of a text that is apparently in the public domaine. It is not in any way an "edition" of the kind produced by a scholarly or a "popular" publishing company. No contextualization at all. No introduction. not even the original date of publication of Balacs novel. If you like Xerographic copies of text with no notes or guidance for the reader. you will be satisfied with this print job. If well-researched editions are unavailable. this is better than nothing.
