A shopper holds a Senegal parrot at the local bird market, in Île de la Cité, Paris, France. On Sundays in the 1960s, the city's flower market turned into a bird market. While this particular bird, the pet of a sailor, was not for sale, dozens of canaries, lovebirds, parakeets, and finches awaited buyers.
