I was confused the first time I read this.

I'm still confused, can somebody please explain.

I'm still confused after my second and third time reading!

I guess the parrot was a cockatoo

If you ask a priest to bless something meaningful to you, they do it. In this case, Pope Francis didn't care what the man that asked him to bless his parrot did for living. The act of asking that means that he has faith, so that makes him close to God.

Love this new pope

This is so beautiful~
