You might be surprised to see the execution of 17 IN THE PARROT 66 in Platielstraat 2. It is a good thing that under the stone it says what it should represent, because the animal with its crooked beak looks more like a sparrow hawk than a parrot. Nevertheless, this exotic animal must have been known in the past, if only from the "parrot shooting" as the archers' guilds called it.
Some history of the building: between 1821 and 1847, Jan Theodoor Dominicus Lahaye was the owner. His profession was funeral director. Around 1803 Maria Gertrudis Germain was the owner. She was the widow of Henricus Hendrix.
