This animated black bird appears to be giving Her Majesty an earful. The royal response is predictably impassive. Statues are always hard of hearing. Upon such a fact, incongruities are based. Another coincidence sharpens the humor here. The birds sits on the end of the Queen’s scepter, her symbol of royal authority. The scepter is a symbolically perfect perch for the bird’s harangue. Both the bird and queen share coloration as well. The statue is black and so is the bird. The gray sky added still another monochromatic dimension, so I converted the image from color to black and white. The statue of Queen Victoria stands before British Columbia’s Parliament Building.
