Through the Static

By Hannah Saunders

Did you know there’s a parrot in Seattle that loves protests?

Kai is 44 years old and loves the sound and energy of Seattle protests. Her owner, who strictly goes by “Kai’s mom,” rescued her when she was 10.

Kai’s mom told TtS that parrots can live to be 100 years old at the Hands Off Iran protest at Pike Place Market on February 28.

In between all of Saturday’s activities, the vibrant and beloved bird drew attention from most people who passed by, with Kai’s mom willingly allowing several to hold her on their arms.

Next time you see Kai, say hi!
