Photo diary: ‘Yaarrrgh!’

Muni rider Katie retells this odd encounter from last week:

I was on the 9x Friday, and a guy got on with a parrot on his shoulder around Market St. The parrot didn’t seem to be tied down, but it was very well-behaved and quietly stood on his owner’s shoulder. He was wearing a little red sweater. I got off at Broadway and Columbus, so I don’t know where the parrot (plus the pirate) was going, but it definitely made me smile as I surreptitiously took pictures.

    I’ve seen this guy with the bird on his shoulder before on the MUNI! I’m suprised the driver lets him on, since its considered a pet. Yes his bird is very well behaved, I also noticed the bird wears a red shirt. Whats gross is that he usually has bird crap all over his shoulder… I’ve seen him walking down market street too. Last time I saw him I was on the 91-Owl but I was coming back too drunk to take a picture. Although I thought it was a cockatiel.
