I am wondering if that was a real incident or was the bird added in post processing?

Thank you Raye, much appreciated. You know this is a photomontage done in photoshop ? What do you think about that ?

Behind The Lens
Location
The picture of the monkey was taken at the zoo in Singapore and the bird ( a pied starling ) is my pet and is kept in a cage in my house in Jakarta.Time
The picture of the bird and the monkey was taken in the afternoon in a shadowy area.Lighting
To combine such an image of the two animals, it must have similar lighting conditions. Both taken in the shadow without direct sunlight.Equipment
The camera used was a canon 5D mark Il, the lens a 24-105 zoom.Inspiration
I love to create images with a theme or just for fun using photo shop and try not to take things too serious.Editing
I combined the bird and the monkey in photo shop, carefully placing the bird on the monkeys hand.In my camera bag
When I walk around I usually just carry my canon 5D mark IV camera the 24-100 zoom lens and the 100mm 2.8 Makro lens. I always bring a spare battery and lens cleaning cloth.Feedback
When I take pictures in nature with animals I sometimes think of how that image can be used to combine it with other images. The purist might not agree but for me it’s just a lot fun and try to get better in photoshop at the same time.
