Default Another "Now I've seen it all" thread

Came through the gate by Mulberry Grove this morning and saw a lady walking while carrying an umbrella. It wasn't raining and it wasn't sunny. When I passed her, I saw that she had a big green parrot on her shoulder. I guess the umbrella was to keep if from flying away.

How strange, but then again, maybe she needed someone to talk to?

I can't handle any more poop threads. I feel so dehydrated and all pooped out.

Maybe it was the parrot holding the umbrella while taking the lady for a walk....
Yea, that's it, I'm sure....

Nothing really that unusual about seeing someone out walking with their pet bird. Our large blue/gold macaw loves it when we take him out of the house & into some fresh air. Let's hope the lady you saw has had her bird's flight feathers clipped, so I doubt if the umbrella was to keep it from flying away. Most likely her bird is frightened of seeing other birds flying overhead, hence the umbrella.

Sounds like the bird lady in Home Alone 2!

I certainly don't know for sure, but was told she uses the umbrella so he doesn't fly away???

I see her occasionally and I do not think it strange at all. There is also a woman that rides a bicycle with a cage on the back with a bird in it.
