A Parrot on My Shoulder

We’ve all seen the guys wandering the beach or the street with numerous birds hanging off of them.  A parrot on the shoulder, another one on the arm, and still another one hanging off some piece of equipment.  They’ll pose with you for a small fee.

Unless you’re really drunk, or really need a photo to commemorate your vacation, just say “no thanks” and keep on walking.

This past week, while attending the opening night Pow-Wow party, they had parrots galore to pose with us – and for no charge.  So I seized the moment.

Occasionally, everyone needs a parrot on their shoulder.
