Summary: "The Birds of Lorrane" by Bill Doede is a science fiction novella written in the early 1960s. The narrative centers around the exploration of an alien planet and the encounter between a human astronaut, Ingomar Bjorgson, and two intelligent, anthropomorphic birds named Pisces I and Pisces II. The story delves into themes of survival, the quest for companionship, and the unexpected nature of intelligence in the universe. In the tale, Ingomar lands on the arid and seemingly lifeless planet of Lorrane, driven by the prospect of discovering intelligent life. After facing dire circumstances, including a devastating storm that damages his ship, he meets the two birds who, contrary to his expectations, possess advanced communication skills and intelligence. Initially skeptical, Ingomar gradually learns that the birds were not only aware of the storm but had been waiting for the opportunity to escape their own predicament. Their duplicitous nature reveals a complex friendship as they work together to navigate the challenges of the planet and ultimately embark on a journey back to Earth, questioning the essence of intelligence and the nature of companionship along the way.
