I don't think I outright charged your mother with intentional starvation. Do you recall the scene in Prokofiev's Love for Three Oranges where the prince (or princess) is dying of thirst in the desert and keeps singing "Water!" "Water!" until an on-stage customer picks up a fire-bucket and throws water on them all? I just can't believe that the poor bird couldn't flutter against the bars, flash its mirror in somebody's eyes, throw chunks of cuttlebone around -- make a racket of some kind. I think we have the basis of an experiment. We take a few dozen males who have never sung and put them in rooms of an abandoned hotel, and a few dozen females, and we starve them until somebody sings. Butch need not have starved in vain. Until I know that Butch was not merely unwilling, but incapable of song, I will not rest easy. If he committed suicide out of false pride or refused to inform out of some misplaced sense of loyalty, to hell with him.
