Parrots

Parrots: are they most annoying creature in existence? Do they actually have vocal cords? Are their beaks totally hollow or just partially hollow? Are the secretly scheming with the dog to steal your favorite shirt, run away and get a job down by the docks?

The answer to all those questions is, most definitely. And I realize the third question there is not a yes or no question, but I don't think it matters.

Quoth the parrot: if I could say anything that wasn't mindless repetition, I would tell you that you need to get a job.
For years people have loved parrots for their obnoxiously loud noises, their ability to reproduce meaningless phrases, and their penchant to reveal condemning secrets at opportune moments thereby leading to solutions in otherwise unsolvable murder mysteries. And that's all great, but this parrot seriously looks like it's going to tear my head off. It's HUGE. There is no way that bird is shorter than seven feet tall.

And look at the eye. It looks like it just tasted human blood...and it wants more.

It is Brigitte's dream to acquire a parrot for the sole purpose of willing it to her least favorite grandchild when she dies, reason being that parrots live for about 100 years. And she plans on teaching it phrases like, "Rarr! You didn't get any of my money!" and "Rarr! Grandma doesn't like you!" Maybe the most cruel use of a parrot of all time.
