Larry's call to action for a greener Liverpool.

I’m Larry the big green guy on top of the Liver Buildings. Leticia’s my bird. She’s the one with the back to the city  (and me.) Not talking again, as usual.  We are THE Liver Birds but there are others.

Let me introduce my chicks. Red , now he understands football. Blue, well, what can I say? Misguided. And then there’s Victoria . Takes after her mother. Cultured. Smart kid..

Then there’s all the wannabes. They’re everywhere. But they’re all  a LOT smaller than me.  There’s “Whiter than White” He’s near St Nics.  Very  good bird he is. Cannot tell a lie kind of guy.  Good man to have on your side is WTW. Except when the two of yous have been somewhere you shouldn’t have been and Tish is asking the questions. (DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS. ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH LIKE WHITER THAN WHITE.)

The birds are everywhere you look- popping out of walls and doorways and all over this fine city of mine. What they need to understand is who’s boss.  And that’s why I have my back up birds , the seagulls and the piddys.

There’s a kind of pecking order in the ‘Pool and all you need to understand is that I always get first peck at the Lever (That’s seaweed to you )

(Well, after  my Tish of course but don’t tell the boys that, will you?)

And speaking of boys, I have my unwinged mates ofcourse.  My Bessie mate is Peewee in Sevvy Park. He's got his own boat . Then there’s my other oppos, like High Up Man and Which Way Man.  Tish's best mate is Queen Victoria , sat up there on her high horse on St George's Plateau. Now she is POSH!

We have our enemies of course. The main ones being those lions. Clarence , Carl , Leo  and Snarl . They take some watching they do. Birds natural enemies are cats. Thankfully them four are gummy and gormless. Trouble is they have their wannabes too. So  there's the James St brothers. Now they have got teeth. But no bodies thank goodness. I call them the headless chickens! All mouth no trousers! 

We have had our adventures, don’t get me wrong but we’ve all been around for a while and get on in a Tom and Jerry kind of way but the biggest problem is the ENVIRONMENT. It used to be just there but it seems to be slipping away a bit .

And I blame those humans. If us statues were in control of things it’d be all right but these humans need teaching a little lesson!

I reckon if you child humans can learn a thing or two from your old Liver Bird here together we can save the planet, so who’s up for being a super hero? Who’s ready to pick up the magic green feather and save this beautiful city of ours?
