Puck especially liked talking about: 1) himself, parrots, parakeets and other bird species and 2) the concept of talking. The number of times he referred to each of these topics on a daily basis probably amounted to well over a hundred. Some examples follow. Many, if not most, of these excerpts involve his role playing.
