Fun fact
In India, a murderer was put behind bars when the victim's pet parrot squealed on him. The police had no initial leads on the crime, until the parrot, named Hercule, provided the vital clue. The victim's husband picked up on the fact that whenever his nephew visited, the parrot would start screeching. It would even react when the nephew's name was mentioned in conversation. The family then informed the police and the suspect was taken into custody. Upon questioning, the nephew confessed to the crime.

A ROOM WITH A VIEW
A friend who booked an Airbnb rental had to go out of town at the last minute. He offered us to stay at the place for free!

ReplyDeleteThat air bnb room view is amazing! I always love those giant water lily pads.
ReplyDeleteI would like a bowl of green curry, please. Not only was the air bnb free, it was also very attractive. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed with the parrot story as well as the picture of that gorgeous bird! Those colorful feathers are so beautiful! As always your photos are delightfully interesting, from the cobblestone street down to that incredible room you were fortunate enough to stay in! What an amazing view and a great gift from a friend! Lucky you :)
ReplyDeleteDearest Victoria,
ReplyDeleteWow, what a clever parrot and he must have LOVED his human!
Guess that animals, including such intelligent birds, with their 6th sense do know more than any human ever can.
Lovely photos and what an Airbnb you got to stay at!
I'm enjoying sunny days with sweet friends and days fly. So relieved with the new rule since June 12! No paperwork nor testing needed anymore. Cancelled my appointment for Thursday to obtain my letter for clearance. No longer needed.
Pieter is looking forward to me coming home and I sure do so too and seeing our kitties again.
Hugs,
Mariette
Wow the room from AirBnB is so great, the view to the wood is amazing! A quiet place for a little holiday,

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful view. I hope it was a great getaway.
ReplyDeleteBellas flores me dio ganas de la cena. Y me gusto la vista. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteVeronica - I have seen pictures of the giant lily pads before, but they never cease to amaze me. And no one ever told me they could hold 110 pounds! How nice to get to stay in that airbnb - it appears that you are above a forest! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely flowers... and such a pretty bird! You always take the best photos!

Hello Veronica,
ReplyDeleteI love the pretty parrot, that is an interesting story the parrot id a murderer. The AirBnb looks beautiful, lovely views. Your food looks delicious. The Lily pads are a pretty sight. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your day and the rest of the week.
Wonderful photos and I'm amazed by the parrot story. I can see the parrot being traumatized by murder and saying the name, but that the police listened is amazing.
ReplyDelete10 feet in diameter is really big for a lilly pad.
ReplyDeleteThere must be a moral to the parrot story. As in be careful what you do you if there's anyone around, even a harmless looking parrot. I like the look of the green curry Veronica. Perhaps you could mail me a portion?
ReplyDeleteWow...these are some amazing pictures...thanks for sharing dear :-)

And cute and smart, that parrot!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at gallimaufry, lol. I love way it rolls off my tongue, gallimaufry. And, now when I make a hash, stew, or mishmash, I can call it gallimaufry. So very cool. Thank you for the new word in my life. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely view from your friend's place! I can't get over that parrot story; they are such smart birds.
ReplyDeleteSuch an intelligent parrot, and how intuitive of the husband to take notice. Delicious looking food, as always, and beautiful flowers. What a sweet little getaway in that beautiful spot!
ReplyDeleteHello! :)
ReplyDeleteThe view from the room is amazing! I could also live like this: D

i enjoyed every photos that you post here Veronica. Have a nice day ^^
What a clever parrot. I've heard some of those birds say some funny things. I'm eyeing up your thai food, I love the chilli and ginger flavours.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and intriguing tale about Hercule Parrot! :)
ReplyDeleteThat was a very clever parrot. The Airbnb looks amazing. I love the narrow cobbled streets in Europe. We have them here in the old harbour part of Plymouth (the Barbican) but never appreciate them as much as when we see them in other countries.
ReplyDeleteHow delicious photos! And what a sight from that room, love it! Parrots are clever animals :)
ReplyDeleteThat Air B&B looks amazing! What a great job that bird did solving the murder mystery, funny to in a way.
ReplyDelete...I love those huge water lilies!
ReplyDeleteI ate more food this time.

ReplyDeleteThe story about the parrot was very unusual, Veronica Lee, and even more so because it was true. I too could get used to that air bnb and it looks like you had an enjoyable time and a great view, thanks to your friend's generosity.
ReplyDeleteThe green parrot is a GRAND bird. And this is a fantastic photo! I really like that alley photo also, with the old building and the stone pavement. Wow, look at those lily pads, they're huge! The green curry looks delicious. I'm glad to see a picture of you too. It's nice to see our blog friends once in awhile. : )
