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"...
