Moniko the parrot (ech. 32-54 mm)

The captain rarely fasted. But the parrot was always on his shoulder, always bending the ear of his lurching master. Many say that it’s because the captain doesn’t wash his behind his ears, others argue that the nasty critter is chewing on her master’s ear. But there are others who believe that the captain is controlled by the parrot and that the bird is the true master of the ship, whispering commands to him. Curiously, there are fewer and fewer who dare say that. Most of them who did are found drowned.
