Old Friend

I met the above old friend 7+ years ago. S/he (?) lives in front of a hair salon across the street from the hotel where I stay when I am in Saigon. S/he seems to remember me every year when we get re-acquainted.
S/he loves to have his head and under his wings itched. Btw s/he says "Hello" perfectly!
Note how tree has Christmas decorations.
