Description:
Godfrey applies skills drawn from TV detective shows to attempt to solve the mystery disappearance of a local gay bartender in 1960s NZ, while exploring his own sexuality.
Reggie was still missing after five days, and Gladys Harris was saying things about him that quivered in my mind, which now, four years later, I see as being that opening sentence leading me to this burden of what happened to Reggie Kingsley.
In the harbour city of New Plymouth in the 1960s there's a fizz of seedy sexuality beneath a veneer of respectability. Godfrey's world is the Balmoral Hotel his parents own, where visiting sailors drink and local fringe-dwellers congregate.
When Reggie, the openly gay barman, goes missing Godfrey senses something sinister. There's a prevailing attitude of inevitability. Godfrey doesn't get it, but he's hungry to understand. Guided by his daytime-television and pulp-fiction detective heroes and a very active imagination, he attempts to solve the mystery-in the process stumbling into his own sexual adventures and discovering a new-found power in a perplexing adult world.
The Birds Began to Sing delves into a world of shadows, nods and unspoken understandings with a warmth and humour that make this novel a delight.
PRAISE-
'A novel filled with humanity, warmth and humour.' Lloyd Jones
'Heartbreaking, hilarious and boldly written. A bona fide page-turner about the importance of living your own truth.' Nigel Featherstone

Extremely Durable
This is truely for heavy chewers. Both my bully mixes have chewed through every bone/ball including Kong. They have had these for about 6 months and they are hardly worn. The dogs love chewing on them too. I wish they came in flavors.

Must have toy
Found out the hard way my sweet little shy rescue pup can chew through any toy in under 5 min. If it says indescribable they have never met her....until this toy. It has been almost two weeks now. She loves this thing and you cannot tell she has even tried to destroy it. If she does manage to somehow I am instantly buying another. This thing is awesome, a must have for super cheers, and she LOVES it

Not even close to "virtually indestructible" as described.
Within an hour of receiving this K9 Chew Stick, our 55lb Staffordshire Terrier began chewing pieces off the top of toy. Initially, we were happy to see that our dog enjoyed the chew toy, and it appeared to be durable. For the high cost of this toy, it is very disappointing that pieces can start coming off that quickly. Luckily, our dog wasn't swallowing the pieces, which can easily lodge in their intestines. If your dog is NOT an aggressive/determined chewer or they are happy with chewing for very short periods of time, this toy might be okay for them.

Durable for Heavy Chewing Rottweiler
Fit for Rottweiler, indestructible and ordered the Y stick from them as well! Lasted longer than any other toy I’ve given her. Kong who?
