But I'm reminded of the joke about one of those punk rockers with colored hair who notices an old man staring at him.
"What's the matter, old man, didn't you ever do anything wild in your life," he asks.
The old man nods and says "I got so drunk when I was young once that I had sex with a parrot. I was just wondering if you might be the result."
I love parrots.
I also hope this bird is found.
I once met a very drunk man who had a parrot tattoo ... he was regretting it. He said, “When I get old and wrinkled, it’ll be a vulture.”
I also think of the saying, “Live your life so that you wouldn’t be embarrassed selling your parrot to the town gossip.”
The Amazon green-and-yellow? Beautiful plumage. Probably just pinin' for the rainforests.
