I think it was an early desire of mine to have a parrot as a pet. This parrot is clearly the pet of Raul, pictured here. The only problem is that the parrot listens to Raul being called, and scolded, by his mother all day. So most of the time the parrot just calls 'Raul, Raul, Raaaaaul!' and then sometimes, in that despairing voice which only mothers (and parrots) can do 'Rauuuuuuuul!'. Despite this, Raul still loves his pet parrot.
Of all the things in this one the texture of the young mans hair is amazing... and a great story.. Don't parrots live to a great age? Is it possible that Raul and his parrot could grow old together? If so I hope its vocabulary can be extended. Win
ReplyDeleteThe parrot looks so intelligent doesn't he? He must know he is into a good thing here. And yes, parrots do live a long time. xx
ReplyDeleteYesterday I went past this parrot again. Raul wasn't there, but the parrot said 'Good afternoon' to me, and then whipered 'Shush... Bad word, bad word'
