Random View from My Commute...Polly Want to Hit the Drive Thru?

I know that this post has a really long title, but I couldn't resist.

As a coworker and I were headed over to Illinois this weekend for a work function, she spotted something very unusual.

Now, I've seen plenty of dogs riding shotgun in cars. I've even seen a cat in the passenger seat. I have even seen a hand and foot hanging out of the trunk of a car (I'm assuming it was a Halloween decoration).

I have NEVER seen a parrot perched on the backseat of a car driving down the interstate! No cage in sight.

I did a double take but it was still there, just looking out the back window.

What's the strangest pet/animal you have spotted sitting shotgun in a passing car?
