	Why is a parrot in this picture on it's back? Is it no more? Is it an ex-parrot? Also, it's sort of thrilling to watch this guy BE the douchebag laughingstock who sends e-mails unintentionally. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I didn't remember that the parrot in the skit was a Blue. That makes it funnier. :D (Reply to this)(Parent)

	To be serious for a moment, a lot of macaws like playing on their backs, actually. It's a good trust-building exercise as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)

When I was in Bali at a bird park thing there was a lady doing a demonstration with a bunch of parrots and after she finished flying them around she walked around giving them to everyone who had hands ... she had taught one of the parrots to lie on it's back on command, and she would put it into your hands like that. Just like - here, have an upside down parrot! And you're like ... oh hey, thanks, I always wanted one of these OMG PARROT ON IT'S BACK. And if you're me, you promptly forget any and all relevant witty Monty Python cracks because omgparrot. Alas!

Anyway, I bet that's what happened to these folks. Uncannily, it's the same kind of parrot and the lady has the exact same expression that my mother did ...

	Look at that man. That expression? That's him realising the Knights Who Say Ni are after his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I suspect that is Mr. Cotton's parrot. Used to sleeping in hammocks, I think (Reply to this)(Parent)
