More photos of that old parrot

I quite often post pictures of parrots and other lovely birds that land on my doorstep, evoking "Ahhhhs" and "Aren't they pretty".....not today.

This old fellow is beautiful in another sense, it's a survivor, an old warrior.....its loss of feathers, gnarled claws and battle scars testament to a long lived, albeit a tough life in what nature has thrown up at it.

It could be an escaped pet or may have had an unfortunate accident at some stage, but looking at the photos, it just plain looks old.

A real rarity.
