Roosted on the struts of every conversation

Good morning,

I'm grappling with the phrase "he is roosted on the struts of every conversation" that I've come across in the book "Dancing with Deception" by Catherine McCullagh.

Does it mean that that a person who is roosted on the struts of a conversation is good at making a conversation, at conducting it?

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it,

Markus

austrian76 I'm grappling with the phrase "he is roosted on the struts of every conversation" Me, too. Coversations don't have struts, even figuratively. Maybe it's clearer in context.

Good morning,

thank you very much for all your answers.

It seems I was too focussed on the second part of the sentence, now with your hints to the other part it makes much more sense.

I clean up my act in the future, I promise, it won't happen again,

thanks again, enjoy your day,

Markus
