EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating moment in time: "Hello Polly" at the Los Angeles Zoo, 1927 Step back in time to the roaring twenties and experience a day at the Los Angeles Zoo as depicted in this charming photograph. The image captures the delight and wonder of a young girl as she interacts with a vibrant and lively parrot named "Hello Polly." Dressed in a stylish dress and hat, the girl extends her hand, offering a treat to the parrot perched on a branch. The parrot, with its brilliant plumage and expressive eyes, seems to return the girl's affection, as it reaches out to take the offering with its beak. This photograph, taken in 1927, offers a glimpse into the history of the Los Angeles Zoo, which opened its doors to the public in 1912. The zoo, which was originally located in Griffith Park, was a popular destination for families and visitors alike, providing an opportunity to observe and learn about a diverse range of animals from around the world. The parrot, "Hello Polly," was likely one of the many exotic birds that called the Los Angeles Zoo home during this era. Parrots, with their colorful feathers and ability to mimic human speech, have long been a favorite among zoo-goers. This photograph not only captures the joy and connection between the girl and the parrot but also serves as a reminder of the important role that zoos play in fostering a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world. As you gaze at this image, take a moment to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of a day at the zoo in 1927. Let the story of "Hello Polly" and the young girl transport you to a time when the wonders of the animal kingdom were just a ticket away.
