Verbs

• PAT: You pat your finch lightly on its head, but it sits there, preening its rust-covered metal feathers. The soft whirring sound coming from within the mechanical finch suddenly stops.
• POKE: You poke the mechanical finch in its side and it tips off your hand. Halfway to the ground the mechanical finch's wings suddenly spread with a clink, and it glides to a gentle stop on the ground. With a sigh of relief, you bend over and gently pick up the small finch and hold it protectively for a few moments.
• TAP: You tap the mechanical finch a few times on the back of its head, making it emit a soft whirring sound as it slowly begins pecking forward on your hand. As the finch gradually speeds up, the sound grows in a crescendo, until it reaches its top speed then starts slowing, eventually coming to a stop. Though the mechanical finch is still, a soft mechanical spinning sound can still be heard coming from within the metal body.
• TOUCH:

                     "Chirp!"
"Chirp!"                                             "Chirp!"
                                      "Chirp!"

Your mechanical finch emits some tinny chirps as you pet it, singing happily before becoming silent again.

• TURN (no grass in room): A small mechanical finch flutters around as though it is looking for something.
• TURN (grass in room): You turn the key in the back of the mechanical finch, and it slowly whirrs awake then flaps loudly down to the ground.

A small mechanical finch stutters, "A gift for you, Uz-Uz-Uzmam!"
