Rick, the parrot, is sitting on his care-giver/owner's head, giving him a very gentle parrot-peck.
Rick is 25 years old, by the way. His owner (in his 70's) says that Rick will probably out-live him, as parrots live for many years. Still, they seemed quite companionable today. :)

Wow, great portrait, love your choice of black and white, despite the parrot sure is beautifully coloured. May they have many, many great years together,...
This is a wonderful character study of both man and bird. B&W works well. Update - we have rented a condo in St Augustine for this year, for 5 weeks mid-Jan - mid-Feb.
