The imperfect paradise

Under the clear sky the magical Ara with yellow breast and gray-plumed plumage. Beneath it the green meadow with yellow flowers. He sits comfortably in the middle of the paradise on a wooden construction that was specially built for him. Only the thin chain indicates that his paradise is not quite perfect: the freedom to fly is missing.

(100 years ago, parrots were a symbol of wealth - first in the nobility, later in many others.)
