Would somebody explain the "pining for the fjords reference"?! (I'm running out of the variations on the he'sdeadJim theme,; need a new punch line.)

It's from a Monty Python sketch--a customer is complaining to a pet shop owner that the Norwegian Blue parrot he just bought was dead.

From the Monty Python Parrot Sketch:
"C: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.
O: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
C: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?'
LOL
