Am I going crazy...?

    Am I going crazy...?

    ... Or did I see a guy riding with a parrot on his shoulder?

    I was driving down route 1 in Rowley yesterday and saw some guy on a cruiser with a parrot (not sure if it was real or fake) on his left shoulder.


    Anyone else seen this?

    That's quite cool.
    If the rider is about to bin it you think the bird can just fly to safety?

    Yeah, that's no big deal, I trained a hawk to catch critters while I ride.

    How do you hold on at highway speeds?

    Birds are kinda aerodynamic. Probably not as hard for it as one would think.

    I had the exact same thought. And he's got big talons; I would be questioning more what the rider's shoulders look like after a highway ride.

    I met this guy and the parrot over the weekend in Provincetown. He was hanging out getting pics of people and the bird.
