I met Merlin for the first time Saturday night. Friends of mine who run a pub in North Devon belong to him. He's very friendly except with Lance, the chap in the top photo, who doesn't get on with any animals for some reason.
Merlin was fascinated by my backpack, hat and spectacles.

Those birds know when someone does not like them, They
are very sensitive when it comes knowing who is cool and who is not. Those are the people/guest's
we call toxic, and the bird should be removed from the scene. Besides the smoke in the pub can kill the bird faster than it's owners. Mine can and will take off your fingers at the second knuckle if your not carefull.

Nice looking bird....Do Wizards have familiars? or what are they called???

a long time ago my local bar had an old parrot called JoJo.the landlord never taught it to talk but the local lads did.JoJo frequently squawked things like....
" fuck the vicar "
" black Betty`s fanny stinks"..
Betty being a dirty old woman who went into the snug,(lounge bar)nothing to do with race.fanny is what we call a ladies front bottom.
police once came round to see the landlord about a complaint made about the parrots bad language.
the parrot did not end up in court.the charges where dropped.
this is true.
