Macky's wayward, feathered friend, PONTIUS is an African Grey Parrot with an apparently insatiable appetite - “Starvin’ here!” is one of his favourite phrases. When Macky needs him, Pontius can usually be relied on to turn up and help his master, but otherwise the parrot comes and goes as he pleases; now you see him, now you don’t. Pontius is not popular with centurions and often succeeds in annoying Macky’s parents too, when his quirky vocabulary and brilliant mimicry are the source of humour and chaos.
