The coordinator said, "What if you pull both legs?" The parrot said, "I fall off the darn perch, dummy!"

The man then asks about the next parrot to be told that this one costs 1,000 dollars because it can do everything
the other parrot can do plus
it knows how to use the UNIX operating system. Naturally, the increasingly startled man asks about the third parrot,
only to be told that it costs 2,000 dollars.
Needless to say this begs the question "What can it do?" To which the owner replies "to be honest I have never seen it do a thing but the other two call him boss!".

Once he understood that, he started shouting in the middle of the show: "Look, it's not the same hat." "Look, he is hiding the flowers under the table!" "Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades?"
The magician was furious but couldn't do anything, it was the captain's parrot after all.
One day the ship had an accident and sunk. The magician found himself on a piece of wood, in the middle of the ocean, with the parrot.They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word. This went on for a day, and another, and another. After a week the parrot finally said: "OK. I give up. What'd you do with the boat?"

She approached the auctioneer and asked him "Can the bird talk?" to which the auctioneer replied "Lady,

He pays the $500, has the store deliver the parrot to his mother, the next day he calls her up. "Mom, how
did you like the parrot
I bought you?" Mmm, delicious!" she says. "What do you mean delicious?" "I made soup out
of it, it came out great!" "But mom, this parrot spoke
five languages!" "Five languages??? So why didn't he say anything?"

Once again he hears, "Jesus sees you." This time, he sees that it was a small parrot. Laughing, he says to the parrot, "Oh, I see. I guess you're Jesus."
"My name is Paco," the parrot replys. "Jesus is the rottweiler standing behind you."
One day, it gets to be too much, so the guy grabs the bird by the throat, shakes him really hard, and yells, "QUIT IT!" But this just makes the bird mad and he swears more than ever.
Then the guy gets mad and says, "OK for you," and locks the bird in a kitchen cabinet.
This really aggravates the bird and he claws and scratches, and when the guy finally lets him out, the bird cuts loose with a stream of invectives that would make a veteran sailor blush.
At that point, the guy is so mad that he throws the bird into the freezer.
For the first few seconds there is a terrible din. The bird kicks and claws and thrashes. Then it suddenly gets VERY quiet.
At first the guy just waits, but then he starts to think that the bird may be hurt. After a couple of minutes of silence, he's so worried that he opens up the freezer door.
The bird calmly climbs onto the man's out-stretched arm and says, "Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you. I'll do my best to improve my vocabulary from now on."
The man is astounded. He can't understand the transformation that has come over the parrot.
Then the parrot says, "By the way, what did the chicken do?"
A: I don't know, but when it talks, you better listen.
