I have my coco

First, I'm sure when you have read " I have my coco" , You have thought about the great COCO ( http://www.fanpix.net/picture-gallery/321/280321-coco-chanel-picture.htm )

You have thought I had a new Chanel perfume or a new Chanel's bag ...YOU ARE WRONG

You may know my passion for cabinet de curiosités (this is the name of my blog )

So my " coco" is something I have always dreamed about ....

Did you get me ?

I have always dreamed about a Napoléon III ( victorian) parrot from a cabinet de curiosités ..And I have it

In french , we usually call a domestic parrot : Coco ( don't know the name in english), like we call minou for a kitty

 

actually a friend found him another name I call him : balthazar , Coco is too common  .

balthazar comes from a very aestetic house . Tomorrow don't forget to read more about my new treasures

I have a thing for parrots. I collect images, love to draw and paint them. I have a perruche but it's not the same. Did you read the book 'the parrot who owned me' It's a real life account and it's fascinating.

Look at the colours of those feathers! Gorgeous! It's amazing what beauty can be found in nature. So...um...this might be a dumb question but is this parrot real or stuffed? Well, you are a collector of antiques so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a stuffed parrot...but still, not sure...
