Hawaiian Impressions 2

September 17, 2005 by Dee

Another Blog from a Book entry…
Parrot Mugging – Saturday September 3rd…
I should never have said it out loud. But before I could have thought about it the word was out of my mouth…
“Coooooool!”
As soon as I said it I knew it was too loud and I knew that there was no getting away… He’d heard me.
It’s all because I love birds.
You’ve met the neighbours… well, now meet their Hawaiian cousins.
The guys who own these precious parrots are a dime a dozen on the main tourist streets of Waikiki, and a true tourist trap they are…
I should never have opened my mouth because these pics only cost us a ‘donation’ of $15.00US… A donation for the Parrot Mugger!!!
Ah well, you only get done once on holiday right? Might as well be on the 1st day.
[ed. you only get done once? Didn’t I hear a rumour about a flower mugging as well?]
Sigh… yes, I got flower mugged too, a beyootiful lei of plumeria (frangipani) flowers was offered to me, which I accepted on a walk along the waterfront… Ah well… they were only $5.00 and the money was going to “charity”…

    I know the blue one’s a macaw but what’s the other one?

    Looks like some sort of Cockatoo to me … obviously not sulphur crested … and it’s got a pink chest … maybe it’s a Rose Breasted cockatoo? …. I;ve just realised that the macaw is lying down .. how funny :)
