| Summary | "My Pets: Real Happenings in My Aviary" by Marshall Saunders is a memoir written in the early 20th century that recounts the author's experiences with various birds and other small animals kept in an aviary. The narrative revolves around the delightful tales of the author's numerous pets, including two Californian screech owls named Solomon and Betsy, and highlights the joys and challenges of nurturing different creatures in a domestic setting. At the start of the memoir, Saunders introduces the story of adopting two orphaned owls, showcasing his initial curiosity and compassion for the tiny creatures. He describes how he learned to care for them, including their feeding habits and amusing behaviors, while detailing the backdrop of his experiences in a school environment near San Francisco. Through a blend of humor and heartfelt emotion, the opening sets the stage for a vivid exploration of the interactions between the author, his pets, and the various situations that arise from their companionship. The reader is drawn into a world of affectionate and often humorous encounters that promise a warm reflection on animal friendship and responsibility throughout the rest of the work.
