Publisher’s description
"Archie Gets the Bird." A special birthday celebration has snuck up on Arch, and the teen has no money for a gift. Luckily his best pal Jughead is working at a pet shop -- and reluctantly agrees to loan Archie a parrot. The mouthy bird soon gets him into trouble, and Mr. Andrews is tasked with bringing the animal to Betty. There's only one problem: it's Veronica's birthday! Will he intercept the present, or face the wrath of Ronnie?
