    Well then I guess I relate with Polly even harder.

    That being said, no worries to be had here. Birds not dead as bird wasn’t real. Not fully anyway. It’s from that godawful Sandler movie, Jack and Jill. The movie has a real bird but for this shot they put it in the fountain using CGI.

    Polly safe. All good.

      Looks like a sulfur crested cockatoo. The CGI sells it because this is the kind of shit they would do.

      Plenty of videos showing their real life shenanigans. (E.g. “cockatoo eating croissant” or “cockatoo opening bin”).

      I love them, but Jesus they can be a pain in the arse sometimes.

      Stamets, you’ve been kinda making a lot of self harm jokes and I just want you to know that a lot of people here, we really like you, and you make us smile and we’d be awful sad to lose you or see you hurt. So if you ever need someone to talk to send me or one of these kind souls a message because there’s all kinds of friendships and you’re my Funny Internet Friend™ and friends listen.
