ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE (The Beatles) - My dad’s Love Bird

Last night I was dreaming that I was alone walking along a narrow pathway among mountains, a tripod on my shoulder, expensive camera hanging from my shoulder and an enormous zoom lens in my hand when suddenly I woke up finding myself surrounded by buildings.

In the morning, after breakfast, I got hold of my camera and was off for my daily 1 hour or so brisk walk, stopping at my dad’s house (my dad is 95 years old and lives on his own) to see he’s ok and to have a quick coffee. So I decided that instead of birds of prey I would take a pic of his Love Bird. Now, this bird is very shy and if somebody gets close to his cage he would flutter around and end up on the furthest side his face against the kitchen tiles. Imagine what he did when I opened the cage door and pushed in my camera lens. I was lucky to take this picture – I presume that he had stopped to decide what stratagem to use to get rid of the intruder.
I will believe that it is not a stuffed bird (as he seems to be smiling for the shot). Joking apart it is a good shot and I can appreciate how difficult it is to capture scared animals. My only other thought is that it must be sad for the bird to be living his whole life in such a small space: (
