El Loro (Vintage Parrot)

When we lived in Caracas, we had a parrot named Roberto. Here he is on his perch next to his cage.
I don’t remember much about him except his favorite phrase, "Mami Ven!", which means "Mommy, Come Here!" in Spanish.
To digress slightly, the parrot who lived next door was much more articulate. From our vegetable garden, you could hear him exclaim "Lorito real, España y Portugal!" over and over from his second-story window. The phrase is delightful in Spanish, but sounds so lame in translation that I won’t make an attempt.
Though my memories of life with Roberto are hazy, I do remember the flocks of wild parrots that used to fly over our house every evening. So did Roberto, because one day he flew away, never to be seen again. My parents told me he had gone to join his friends the wild parrots. I am inclined to think this is true.
This photo was taken in the late 50′s or early 60′s.
