TL:DR

This dude in B.C. is driving around with his macaw, Admiral Nelson, in his vintage whip. They're a whole vibe, ngl. Bird was big sad during lockdown, but now he's back to being a social butterfly (or should we say, a social bird?).

The Deets

Okay, so there's this guy named Jim Turner in British Columbia, and he's living the soft life with his blue and gold macaw, Admiral Nelson. Like, they're cruising around in Jim's classic car, living their best lives. This ain't no new thing either, Admiral Nelson has been Jim's ride-or-die for 25 years!

Apparently, Admiral Nelson is all about that social life. He's been rolling with Jim to schools, hospitals, nursing homes – basically, anywhere people are vibing. But then COVID hit, and things got sus. Admiral Nelson had to stay home, and he started plucking his feathers 'cause he was feeling lonely, which is a major L. Turns out, this bird is a flock animal, and humans are his flock.

But the plot twist? Now that Jim and Admiral Nelson are back on the road, the bird's mood is totally levelling up. He's waving at kids, soaking up the sun, and generally being a legend. A toddler, Quinn, even met Admiral Nelson, solidifying the bird's place as a main character.
