Percy Edwards

When he was a child, bird impressions were often done with the assistance of hands on the mouth, however he was able to do them without.

[3] During World War II, Edwards worked at Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies in Ipswich.

[4] Edwards became a household name after playing Psyche the dog in the radio series A Life of Bliss,[5] which he reprised for its television adaptation.

He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1993 for services to ornithology and entertainment.

[6] In 2009, Sir David Attenborough presented a special BBC radio panel game, The Percy Edwards Showdown, dedicated to Edwards's life and career.
