A Bird in the Hand

While on our way to the Eirike Ward for seminary and institute classes we passed three boys each carrying long poles.  One of the boys had captured this parrot with his slingshot.  The bird was very much alive but probably not for long.  It was a beautiful bird and he was very proud of it.  I asked several questions but got only nods and smiles back.  Not uncommon here.  Maybe it will be kept as a pet.
