Markus Söder just revealed that he had become a fan of the Chancellor during the pandemic. And Angela Merkel quickly finds friends in the animal world.
Whether budgies, cockatiels, zebra finches or parrots – the Chancellor was very popular in the Marlow Bird Park: whole flocks of brightly colored Lori parrots fluttered around Angela Merkel and ate out of her hand.
One of the Australian Loris even landed on her head. In her hand she held a small paper cup with “Lori nectar” made from dried pollen, fructose, grain and water. Before the general election on Sunday, Merkel was on a farewell tour in her traditional constituency in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The budgies were also trusting and allowed the outgoing head of government to feed them millet. Merkel was only cautious about the fully grown European eagle owl: she didn’t want to hold the approximately 60 centimeter tall owl with the big eyes after all. «No, no. I did well with the parakeets. “
The eagle owl was then held by the CDU Bundestag candidate Georg Günther (33), who wants to be Merkel’s successor in constituency 15 (Vorpommern-Rügen – Vorpommern-Greifswald I).
