Parrot jokes as requested - so must be on topic.

Two friends meet. One's looking very down and the other asks what's wrong.

It's my parrot.

What's the matter with it.

It's stopped talking.

Well, you see, parrots are like people. They like a change of surroundings from time to time. Why don't you move the stuff in his cage - see if that cheers him up.

His friend says he'll give it a go.

They meet again a coupla weeks later, but the parrot-owner looks worse.

Has something happened - you look terrible.

It's the parrot.

What now?

it's dead.

Dead?! Whay, what happened?

He fell off his perch.

Ah, so you moved the furniture in his cage. Did that at least get him to talk.

Oh yes, he said, "Who moved me flaming ladder !!?"
