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.
