Sy Montgomery Quote

The emperor Caesar Augustus had a parakeet who greeted him daily, and after his victory over Mark Antony in Egypt in 29 B.C., he purchased a raven whose trainer had taught him to say Ave, Caesar Victor Imperator. (The trainer had wisely taught another bird to say Ave, Victor Imperator Antoni in case the battle went the other way.)
