HALIFAX — A parrot in Nova Scotia that has been showing signs of depression since the COVID-19 pandemic is moving to Ontario for a change of scenery and to make new friends.
Merlin has been the mascot of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax since 2006, but his routine was disrupted when COVID-19 emerged in 2020 and the museum closed.
"Peek-a-boo," he said, cocking his head and trying to catch Reinhardt's eye. He went back to preening after she looked at him and replied:"peek-a-boo." Safari Niagara happened to be looking for another macaw, Reinhardt said, because there is one bird there that is currently single.
