The art class that I was in last weekend had a bird surprise on Sunday. We walked down the hill from the classroom building to the art gallery where this parrot was holding court.
The parrot, Elsie, is 23 years old and lives at the Desert Museum which is a botanical garden, zoo, art institute and lots more, all wrapped into one institution. I was too busy photographing Elsie to get all the details of her bird lineage.
Elsie was delightful and entertained us with her words and antics. Plus ( I will say this very quietly) she pooped! Her docent/keeper had a tissue on hand for the occasion and all was well. The parrot kind of reminded me of a baby, with the pooping and all. She look uncomfortable, shifted her feet back and forth, crouched, and. . .tissue time. Good bird!
