Pippa last chatted to Australian novelist Heather Morris when she spoke at a Jewish Literary Festival event in Cape Town a few years ago - at the time she was touring the world with her novel The Tattooist of Auschwitz. In the intervening years she has gone on to publish a sequel called Cilka's Journey, and collectively those books have sold ove r8 million copies.

Now Heather has a new book out which you could describe as a companion novel - picking up new characters in the same location and time period of World War 2 and the Nazi death camps. The new book is called Three Sisters and it tells the story of Cibi, Magda and Livia as they fight to survive the Holocaust

We want to pick up on a query sent in by our listener Roger Codrai a while ago. Roger is a landscaper with a passion for birding, who tells me he tries to include bird-friendly plant palettes in his designs whenever he can.

Should we be doing it at all? And if we should, are we using the right ingredients? Roger expressed concern about the ingredients in some bird feed products, including inappropriate proteins, as well as artificial colourants and adhesives. To answer his question, we’ve called on Dr Coetzee de Beer, who is a registered avian vet who works at the Centre for Avian, Reptiles and Exotics
