Against the backdrop of a glittering but brutal circus world, this book charts the history of elephants in America, the inspiring story of the Elephant Sanctuary, and the spellbinding tale of Billie, a resilient elephant who defied the system even as she struggled to overcome a life of abuse and never lost sight of the life she was meant to have. : The Owl Who Liked Sitting on Caesar (9780552170048) by Windrow, Martin and a great selection of similar New, Used and Collectible Books available now at great prices. “Last Chain on Billie: How One Extraordinary Elephant Escaped the Big Top” by Carol Bradley. Yet when Wellington escapes, Windrow is bereft and quickly replaces him with a calmer female tawny owl. Newspapers must be strewn everywhere to defend against “scatological accidents.” And there are nights when he hoots uncontrollably, much like an errant car alarm. Wellington turns out to be a handful: He requires unskinned chopped rabbit - awkward to order at Harrods Food Hall. His brother, an expert in falconry, finds him a little owl - a bird roughly the size of a loaf of bread. While recovering in his London high-rise from a skydiving accident, British military historian Windrow wishes for the company of a pet. “The Owl Who Liked Sitting on Caesar: Living With a Tawny Owl” by Martin Windrow.
