Current Goal

As I am a Norwegian Blue/Red Parrot (although I am a bit more red then blue!) and I am pining for the Norwegian fjords I would like to travel extensively in Norway, Denmark and Sweden before I return home to a cache in the North East of England owned by The lambs @ 9. Photographs from my journey would be much appreciated.

About This Item

Polly the Norweign Parrot

A Norwegian Blue Dead Parrot! you say!!
A customer enters a pet shop.
Mr. Praline:
'Ello, I wish to register a complaint. (The owner does not respond.)
Mr. Praline: 'Ello, Miss? 
The lambs @ 9: What do you mean "miss"?
Mr. Praline: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint! 
The lambs @ 9:     We're closin' for lunch.
Mr. Praline: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
The lambs @ 9:  Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
Mr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
The lambs @ 9:   No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
Mr. Praline: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
The lambs @ 9:  No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
Mr. Praline: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
The lambs @ 9:  Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
Mr. Praline: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the cage) 'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...(owner hits the cage)
The lambs @ 9:  There, he moved!
Mr. Praline: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!
The lambs @ 9:  I never!!
Mr. Praline: Yes, you did!
The lambs @ 9:  I never, never did anything...
Mr. Praline: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call! (Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
Mr. Praline: Now that's what I call a dead parrot.
The lambs @ 9:  No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
Mr. Praline: STUNNED?!?
The lambs @ 9:  Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
Mr. Praline: 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.
The lambs @ 9:  Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
Mr. Praline: 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?
The lambs @ 9:  The Norwegian Blue prefers keepin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!
Mr. Praline: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there. (pause)
The lambs @ 9:  Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
Mr. Praline: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
The lambs @ 9:  No no! 'E's pining!
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)
The lambs @ 9:  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.
Mr. Praline: I see. I see, I get the picture.
The lambs @ 9:   I got a slug. (pause)
Mr. Praline: Pray, does it talk? 
The lambs @ 9:   Nnnnot really.
Mr. Praline: WELL IT'S HARDLY A B****Y REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?
The lambs @ 9:  N-no, I guess not. (gets ashamed, looks at his feet)
Mr. Praline: Well. (pause)
The lambs @ 9:  (quietly) D'you.... d'you want to come caching?
Mr. Praline: (looks around) Yeah, all right, sure.
......and that's the last time we run a Pet Shop. (with thanks to Monty Python Crew!!)

I'll just log this as "grabbed from", since it was not in its last known location, and it needs to go into our inventory.

Discovered It 7/25/2012 MasterAndMargarita discovered it   Visit Log

Discovered this in ISTANBUL! This trackable was in GS314B6 "Taksim on the Rocks", where it must have been dropped yesterday by someone who hasn't had a chance to log it yet. Since this parrot wants to see Scandinavia, we'll take it back to Sweden tomorrow!
