Elderly gentleman, retired. Sailor's floppy sun hat. Leans his bicycle against the railing above the seawall.
In the basket, a white cockatiel on a perch, glancing curiously and apparently contentedly at the sea, and the gentleman, and the passers-by.
Below the basket a sign written in multicolored fingerpaint: "Parrots bite!"
