Parrots Cockatoos and Macaws...
|
It is not an easy task to fix the exact date when parrots first became known in Europe, but I should say that the middle of the fifteenth century is the most probable time for we read that it was in the year 1455 that "a Senegal Parrot was first heard of in Europe". I don't think this necessarily means Pceocephalus senegalus.
It more probably merely refers to a parrot of some kind imported from that part of Africa. It seems to have been nearly fifty years later (in 1504) that the first parrots reached England and were "shown as a great curiosity".
There are two historical Grey Parrots that deserve mention here, belonging respectively to King Henry VIII and to the famous and enchanting Duchess of Lennox and Richmond who was known as "La belle Stuart" and was a mistress of King Charles II.
While we do not know much of the Tudor parrot beyond the fact that it was a Grey and certainly did belong to Henry VIII, we know a good deal about the Stuart one and indeed its stuffed body - believed to be the oldest stuffed bird in the world - can be seen in the Norman Undercroft Museum at Westminster Abbey to this day.

King George V had a pet Roseate Cockatoo to which he was extremely devoted, although I believe Queen Mary regarded the bird less favourably than did her husband.
On bidding farewell to a friend who had lunched at Sandringham, the King would often have the cockatoo sitting on his arm or shoulder, but what Queen Mary objected to so strongly was entirely a domestic matter.
It appears that the King liked to have his cockatoo with him when he was dressing for dinner, and while doing so would put it on a towel-rail in his dressing-room where it had a lovely time biting the towels-biting things up being an affectionate gesture on the part of many of the cockatoos, which in an aviary will often whittle away at a perch with much raising and lowering of the crest while one is talking to them.
However, whether chewing up the royal towels was a gesture of affection for its owner on the Roseate's part or was simply done from sheer naughtiness I don't know, but I do know that it annoyed Queen Mary extremely, and I can't say I blame her!
