I saw this and thought “Marlin Perkins!”
It’s not him, of course, but still… .
Most of you will not have the slightest idea who I’m talking about.
Reblogging because I do remember Marlon (I think) Perkins, and fondly. And because I recently snuggled up to a bearded dragon in just about that pose. Lizards like me, I don’t know why.

(CNN)— A man wearing military fatigues walked with two bright green parrots perched on his shoulder. A peccary trotted behind a police sergeant.The men were among 10 hostages Colombian rebels released this week after imprisoning them for more than a decade. The wild animals became pets that offered comfort under harsh conditions in jungle camps.
This just goes to show how comforting pets can be :)
Go and read the whole article. I can’t get over this guy being accompanied by two fully flighted wild birds, who obviously have NO INTENTION of leaving him, ever.
