I think that we need a break from memes and myths and themes. So I thought that it would be a good day for confessions. Like everyone else, I cannot resist a cute and touching animal picture. This one is for reader Wendy S. It’s from the AP and was taken on July 24 and shows an Indian parrot hatchling being fed by hand. It had been caught in a forest in the northeastern Indian state of Nagaland by a local hunter and offered for sale . It shows a mythic bond and relationship between species… Sorry, maybe I should just say: “Aww!”
Thanks!! This is a really wonderful photo. I am always amazed at how the coating of feathers completely changes the perceived shape of a bird.
