Seeing an old lady looking after a load of goldfish with a parrot on her shoulder is definitely not an everyday sight. Or at least it’s not if you don’t live anywhere near an old lady who sells fish and has a parrot.
But add to that the rather forlorn appearance of said pet, along with it looking about the same age as its owner, and the pair are even more unusual.
And yet seeing the two of them so quiet and content in each other’s company was arguably even more striking — not to mention touching.

I love this picture!
They seem to be enjoying each other accompaniment.
Lee says
It certainly seemed that way. Friends for a long long time I suspect.
Paul says
I think the parrot’s giving you the eye!
Quite a touching scene, made all the more by the apparent lack of droppings down the back of the owner. The parrot must respect her alot or be well trained!
Lee says
Yes. She was oblivious to my presence, but the parrot wasn’t.
I though that too. Either very well trained, or he had only recently jumped on her shoulder. I suspect the latter!
El-Branden says
That parrot is dead! It has expired. It is no more…
Lee says
No, he’s resting.

LOL One of my favorite skits.
