Another bird?
At first glance this fella seems to be dressed as a bird, maybe for halloween or something? But upon closer inspection it’s actually a person wearing a plague doctor’s outfit! And funnily enough he’s buying a six-pack of Corona beer. This definitely was a wink to the Covid-19 pandemic back in 2020. Funny right?!
Back in the olden days, when diseases like the plague swept through towns, these outfits were believed to protect doctors from getting sick. The masks had herbs in the beaks to fight off bad smells, which they thought carried diseases. So, while it might seem bizarre today, it’s a fascinating glimpse into how people tried to stay safe from illnesses long ago.
