The Angela Merkel era will end with the general election in Germany on Sunday. The studied physicist ruled the Federal Republic for 16 years and was known for her objectivity. Nevertheless, the pastor’s daughter, who has hardly any speaking talent and is awkwardly phrased, is seen on a small scale as very humorous and self-deprecating. She rarely showed great emotion in public appearances. At most at soccer world championships, where she even jumped up from her seat one time or another.
Now, at the end of her reign, the Chancellor gave free rein to her feelings. During her visit to the Marlow bird park in northeast Germany, snapshots were taken that showed Merkel in an unusually open manner. She let exotic birds flutter around her and take pictures with parrots while she was holding a mug of “Lori nectar” in her hands. Even when a bird took a bite, the 67-year-old stayed “cool”.
