A black and white photograph of a parrot in a cage, ca. 1920s. The bird, which is at the center, climbs the corner of the wood-framed cage. It clings to the corner with its beak and left claws, while the right claws cling to the screen which encloses the cage. Also inside the cage and to the left is a wood branch. To the far right is part of a wall. A stamp at the bottom left of the back reads, "ANDERSON / Photo Service / EL MONTE." Below this is the number, "3." The photograph was housed in Agnes Temple's album which is item 96.7.94.1 along with many other photographs which span 96.7.1.1-.93.1. Contact sheets 2000.159.1.1-.8 show the original positioning of the images within the album. With stains at the top and bottom right corners, the artifact is in fair condition.
