Like Little People

Alba Ballard loved her parrots. And what's more, she loved dressing them up. She sewed costumes for them and built sets so they could reenact scenes from movies and TV shows of the sixties and seventies. Sonny and Cher, Liberace, Bonnie and Clyde--she covered them all.

Photos of Alba's work are collected in the book Mrs. Ballard's Parrots. We've got a stack in the store now, at only $7.49. It's cheaper than dressing your own pets.--David E
