Mulukuku ("moo-loo-koo-koo") came from the eastern mountains of Nicaragua to
take up residence in the Cashew tree ("Marañón") at my house. I named her after
a small town in Matagalpa whose Indian name has long since lost its
meaning.  And Mulukuku, in exchange for bananas, mangos, and
bread-soaked-in-milk, provides a loud parrot-style wakeup call every morning at
sunrise. What more could you ask for in a pet?
