Pretty Polly

One of the things I love about Bangkok is the street theatre - there is always something going on.  Yesterday when I went to pay for my bread, I realised that there was a parrot in the queue ahead of me!   The owner spoke some English so told me about his pet, whose translated name means good luck.

Unlike the multi-lingual cockatoo that lives on out street with his English owner, this parrot has had its wings clipped so he will not fly away.  Rocky on the other hand, has a long chain secured to his leg.  His owner takes him to the park to fly and at home he lives on the balcony, secured there but still able to fly around to the length of his chain.  

I'm glad I don't have to wash those tee-shirts!
