Abstract
This examines the role of speaking birds in the Fable of Cupid and Psyche and the frustration of metamorphosed and silenced humans in the mainframe novel. I argue that Apuleius alludes to previous Latin authors in his imagery of imitation and to the powers of mimicry centred in the parrot (the subject of one of his oratorical displays, the Florida).
