If you know someone that has lost a parrot, they can stop looking I'm afraid I saw it on Blackburn Road.

Is this leading to the dead parrot sketch?

No need to shout, now, let's start off in basic terms I can understand.

1/ What is you tube?

2/ Dead parrot? Are you sure it's about a dead parrot?

3/ Is it a documentary that helps parrot owners recover from the grief of seeing a picture of their parrot, (excuse my ignorance I of course mean love bird), dead and no doubt next on the menu in a B'burn Rd take away?

Sorry for the shouting I humbly apologise. I don't know how to put links on the site. If you go to YouTube and type in the search box "dead parrot sketch" and it should bring it up.

Love that sketch - a true classic!
Less: I'm not trying to be a pedant - sorry if I come across that way. I had the privilege of owning a Senegal parrot for 21 years, and my husband used to breed them (largely to help prevent the illegal trade in wild caught birds). It's every bird owner's nightmare to have one fly away, and it's a sad sight to see one feet up in the gutter (pushing up the daisies, so to speak). They are very intelligent, emotional creatures, and after the death of my beloved Igor, (pronounced Eye-gore, after the Marty Feldman character) swore I would never keep another as I've come to believe they're just too intelligent to be kept in cages.
