Scene-stealing parrots draw plenty of attention at Brownwood craft show

Sherry Albert wasn’t alone Sunday during a visit to the arts and crafts show at Brownwood Paddock Square.

She brought along her two parrots.

“I just have a thing for birds, ” said the Lady Lake resident.

One parrot was a 17-year old Green Wing Macaw. The other was a 16-month-old Scarlet Macaw.

Both were perched on her shoulders. Once in a while they would let a loud squawk and flap their wings.

“Don’t worry, they’re happy,” Albert told a small group of people who gathered to gaze at the birds.

“I just love them,” Albert said. “They’re so beautiful.”
