Lovely day here, needed milk so decided just to walk the couple of miles into town and back. Walking back I could hear someone coming up behind me, a woman walked past, perfectly normal situation . . . . apart from the large parrot (Scarlet McCaw) on her right shoulder

It was such a strange scenario I had trouble taking in what I was looking at, this thing was sitting backwards on her shoulder. Is it a stuffed toy and she's nuts? Nope, it cocked its head to one side as it looked at me then had a general look around at the scenery . . . . ok, this is definitely weird, who takes a parrot for a walk

Hope a Sparrow Hawk does not spot it from above.

With the size of this thing I think a Sparrow Hawk would come off 2nd best.

Hahahaaa Weird but amusing at the same time imo, you don't get to see that every day do you, and .... it's a bit of a talking point if nothing else.
