Pirate with A Parrot



The sitting Man is looking realistic in sailor clothing (clothing would actually fit even other periods than just early 1700s): checkered shirt, Monmouth cap, blue neck cloth, canvas trousers and shoes. He has a pipe. The pirate parrot is a cliché but occasional birds might have been seen here and there. Parrots lived in The Caribbean and the parrot trade to Europe was booming business at the time so pirate could capture or steal parrots quite easily. Parrots could be good entertainers during boring sea voyages so there might have been few as pets. Historian’s opinions about parrots vary but there is no “definite no” for occasional birds. But since even occasional pirate parrot is hardy realistic (if it is at all) I have put parrot on ordinary seaman’s shoulder. And the parrot is actual Caribbean species which lives in The Bahamas as well. The parrot is "Cuban Amazon" (Amazona leucocephala) often called as "Cuban Parrot".
