A girl just sat down opposite me on the train with a rainbow lorikeet.  It climbs all over her and occasionally it screeches and new people on the carriage turn around to see that yes there is in-fact a bird on the train.  Most of the time it sits on her shoulder staring out the window.  She did come prepared though, and every now and then would pull out a wipe to clean up after the bird.  They rode the entire line with me and then got off at Flinders Street Station.  I though surely she will now put it in something, but no she just walked off with the bird on her hand.  People she passed had to do a double take to just make sure that yes there is in-fact a girl walking through Flinders Street Station with a bird on her hand.
