Ex-Voto Singer Parrot

Artist Name: Selva Prieto Salazar

 
St. Francis was on hand to teach this parrot something more suitable for the kids, as evidenced in this ex voto.
Here's the translation of the inscription:

A fiend give a parrot to my husband and the bird sang, but only obscene songs, my children were facinated with it and they began to learn the horrible songs even if they didn't understood the meaning of them, as my husband didn't wanted to give away the parrot I began to ask to San Francisco to teach good manners to the bird and with his help and my patience we achieves that the parakeet learned children songs.
