This 80c value from Singapore's "vanishing trades" definitive series (2014) features a parrot astrologer with one of his birds. From the Singapore Infopedia website, "Parrot astrologers are fortune tellers who use green parakeets to aid them with their craft. Acting as a medium, the parrot will pick a 'lucky card', presumably based on the customer's name and birth date. The astrologer then reads the customer's future from this lucky card. In early Singapore, parrot astrologers were mainly Indians who set up their business as a five-foot way trade or in temple grounds. They would also make house calls...There are still some parrot astrologers plying their trade in the Seragoon Road vicinity."  |
