CARING Ewen Cameron kisses his bird — a rare Macaw parrot that goes everywhere with him.

Ewen, 58, takes Sona to work and the pub.

The 14-year-old parrot was even among guests at his sister’s wedding.

Sona sits on a branch to watch Ewen work as a landscape gardener.

And she is a big hit at his local, The Four Elms Inn near Edenbridge, Kent, where she mimics the sound of wine being poured.

Bachelor Ewen found Sona at a DOG KENNEL after going there to get a pet for company while he was recovering from a near-fatal burst appendix.

“Sona took my mind off my own trauma and we went from strength to strength.
