OK, confession time.
Birds weird me out. I was once assigned a story at a pet shop that specialized in birds and reptiles, and was stalked the entire time by an African Grey. Just creepy.
However …
When it comes to Monty Python’s Dead Parrot sketch, and a few other birds (as long as I’m not near them), I’m OK. Still a bit creeped out, but I can find the funny.
The laughing parrot, though … still kinda creepy.

This 50-foot Norwegian blue was dropped in a London Park last July to promote a Python reunion. I’m fairly sure he’s not just resting.

And yeah, you knew I’d have to have the Dead Parrot sketch, too. Happy Sunday!
