A Capitals fan brought a parrot to practice so of course Alex Ovechkin had to hold it

Evgeny Kuznetsov is known as the birdman, but a different member of the avian species was present at MedStar Capitals Iceplex on Wednesday.

Capitals fan John Hawes brought his 16-year-old parrot Cally to practice. The Manassas, VA resident, who has five other birds (shoutout to TC Feathers Aviary), waited outside of the rink so that Cally could meet Kuznetsov, her favorite hockey player.

Cally didn’t meet Kuzy but she did get one hell of a consolation prize: a perch on future Hockey Hall of Famer, Alex Ovechkin.

Taylor Kampa Olson surprises Lars Eller with family portrait from Stanley Cup parade

Over the last year, local artist Taylor Kampa Olson has painted stunning portraits for many Capitals players’ families, including Nicklas Backstrom and Ted Leonsis. This time around, Taylor worked with Julie Eller to surprise Lars Eller with portrait of the Eller family at the Stanley Cup parade.

“Lars and the fam! I love working with my clients’ imaginations,” Taylor wrote on Instagram. “Julie Eller had a picture of the family from the Caps parade day, but The Capitol was tiny and far away, her face was half hidden behind her daughter, they were wearing hats and sunglasses and were in the middle of a bunch of people on a stage.
