Dead Parrot Society

Isn't it ironic that the first documented case of a bird transporting the avian flu in the UK would be a Dead Parrot? The Guardian reports: "The arrival of a highly pathogenic form of avian flu in Britan was confirmed last night as veterinary officials revealed that a parrot that died in quarantine had the disease".

From the Dead Parrot Sketch (Monty Python)
Mr. Praline: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!

(pause)

Owner: Well, I'd better replace it, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of parrots.
