Parrot Walk at Regent's Park Zoo, London, 1870s: A Fashionable Pastime This photograph, taken at Regent's Park Zoo in London during the 1870s, showcases a popular and unusual attraction that once drew fashionable ladies to this beloved urban oasis. Known as the Parrot Walk, this unique feature allowed visitors to interact with an array of exotic parrots, who were not enclosed behind bars but rather roamed freely among the visitors. The allure of the Parrot Walk was twofold. First, the parrots themselves were a sight to behold, their vibrant plumage and lively personalities providing a thrilling contrast to the grey urban landscape of Victorian London. Second, the feathers of these birds were highly sought after for use in fashionable hats, making the Parrot Walk a destination for those seeking the latest trends. In this photograph, we see a group of ladies, elegantly dressed in their finest attire, gathered around a parrot perched on a tree branch. One lady reaches out to touch the bird, while another holds a hat, ready to pluck a fresh feather. The scene is a testament to the enduring fascination with exotic animals and the lengths to which people went to acquire the latest fashion accessories. The Parrot Walk at Regent's Park Zoo offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the intriguing intersection of nature, fashion, and the pursuit of beauty in Victorian society. This photograph, captured by an unknown photographer, invites us to imagine the stories of the ladies who visited this enchanting attraction and the memories they took home with them.
