78 years on a ship. Was there a swear word he didn’t know?
Poor thing.
Skeksis
Albatrosses wouldn’t be so bold as to wear that thing around their necks.
This is an ex-parrot
Crackers!
Bless his heart. I want so badly to reach back in time to at least trim his beak. Just 1 snip…
Yikes that is not a well cared for bird based on the beak alone but I guess they probably didnt know better in 1914
Lil dude was a real life Pirate Parrot
Hmmm. Lived a hard life yet lived to close to twice the age that cockatoos have been known to live in pampered captivity.
Or maybe Cocky Bennett was a bit like The Dread Pirate Roberts.
Or maybe this is a tall tale.
Male pattern baldness comes in all species
Did it come with a side of ranch dressing?
This parrot is no more.
