Bird is the word














For John, his companion is "Big Bird". A macaw, once held in captivity, is now his best friend. Free from his cage, big bird remains close to John, a sign of loyalty and trust. As a sore reminder of his past, big bird plucks his feathers, a habit he picked up during his captivity. One cannot avoid the sight of his bald breast but his vibrant feathers leaves you gaping in awe. For Big Bird, John is his companion.

These pictures were taken outside of Cafe Calabria in North Park, San Diego. I thank John for allowing me to take pictures of his macaw.
