                        Parrots

Polly the Parrot (pretty corny, huh?) was one of my favourite puppets of my dad's. Many years later the circus decided to do Treasure Island, and I made my own parrot, Cap'n Flint. The prototype ended up on stage -  he just came alive as I made him.

In his natural habitat

And he was a star, too. He even got a rave review in one of the newspapers...
