BIRTH VEG - RED ROO

‘Roosies’ have dark-ringed eyes and thick ankles and wrists. They like to listen to deep, resonant sounds like male voices bellowing through horns. Stubborn and often deliberately ignorant and sullen, they occasionally skip about in very light, airy moods and enjoy girlish laughter. But not for long. Birthsmell: burning gorse. Favourite time of day: lightsout.
