He wants to be an astronaut when he grows up.

Hungry, or dead.

He’s the rare green phase Norwegian Blue parrot.

Or when you are cooking chicken for dinner

Shooting for sympathy.

This cartoon has a Bizarro rating of 1.

Polly wanted a cracker.

It’s known as Polyslyrene Parrot. It feigns death, claws in the air to grab any small scavengers that gather. (Don’t bother to look for it in Wikipedia…)

So do I.

He learned it from her husband.

Reminds me of Monty Python’s ‘Dead Parrot’.

When he is very very very hungry

’e’s probably pining for the Fajitas.

Actually, I do too.

His fun meter is pegged out

Looks like Monty Python’s dead parrot to me.

Make an interesting hat rack.

He’s dying for some food.

Very interesting. . . An acrobatic parrot. She got him from the circus.

so do i

How often does he do that?

…hoping we’ll notice he’s gone limp from not being fed! ☺️☺️

An expert at communication.

Reminds me of my ex-husband.

He’s just pining for the fjords

What if he poops ???

Mitch Hedberg said, "I bought a parrot that could talk. But he never said “I’m hungry”. So he died."

He takes his inspiration from the goldfish floating in the bowl

Low blood sugar?
