This parrot is dead.

Ed the Editor's personal blog corner

A friend used to have a parrot, and it was a bastard that used to peck everyone whenever it was allowed to fly around the house. To make life somewhat bearable, they let it free in the loft, out of harm's way, then coaxed it down when it was time for bed. (btw, I would peck too if I was that intelligent and sentenced to being kept in a loft and a cage for most of my 50 years on earth.)

Anyway, the humans hated the parrot, and it hated them. One day the family's prayers were answered for a speedy, accidental end to the damn bird's life. An unsuspecting person entered the loft space occupied by the free-flying parrot, turned on the light and heard this "Sqwauk" followed by a thud. Simultaneously, the whole house was plunged into darkness.

When they restored the fuses which had blown on the main electrics board, they saw the parrot, fried! No tears of sadness were shed, more like, tears of joy. That was until they discovered the full extent of the parrot's legacy. It had systematically nibbled at every conceivable cable it could find and they had to have the whole place re-wired at great expense. Sweet!
