They don't get much weirder.

In addition to the resemblance to a parrot's head, I think it looks like a turtle.

It is unusual. It leaves room for interpretation and imagination. It reminds me of Haida art:

Bird skull or head. I like it.

You're right, Speedway, though its title is simply "Parrot Head"; "turtle head" has another meaning over here.

Oooh, Nice catch, Ms.M. It' really is very Haida-like. I've been fascinated by their art since I was a kid.


Me too, Petrea, though like all the statues in this little park it has no obvious link to the city.
