		The "Dead Parrot" sketch is one of the masterpieces of the Monty Python canon.
		Shopkeeper remains unconvinced, claiming that it is stunned, and that it is pining for the fjords.

		So for the part of the sketch where Mr Praline complains that the parrot is not moving and he is told that the parrot has been nailed to its perch, we instead hear the excuse that the congregation has been nailed to the pews.
		To leave dead bones out in the air was offensive to Jewish tradition: the custom was (and still is) to bury the dead as soon as possible.
		But contact with dead bodies made a Jew ritually unclean, and to leave them out like this for so long increased the number of people who would be made unclean by coming near them.

	BBC - h2g2 - Monty Python's 'Dead Parrot Sketch'
		The 'Dead Parrot sketch' cropped up in several places after its original performance, firstly on the BBC Monty Python's Flying Circus album, and then in the film And Now For Something Completely Different, in which the ending was changed to have the pet-shop owner reveal that what he really wanted to be was a lumberjack...
		The sketch became an important part of the Python stage shows, featuring on the Live at Drury Lane album in the UK and the Live at the City Center album in the USA.
		Of course, you could argue that the 'Dead Parrot sketch' is successful simply because it was written by two of the finest comedy writers and performed by two of the finest comedy actors ever to grace a television screen.

	Bobby and the Dead Spurs Parrot Sketch \|\| Arsenal Times - Unofficial Arsenal F.C. News and Views (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The way it works is that my mate stands out of sight behind a screen and uses a microphone which is attached to the parrot as it goes around on its bike.
		The parrot’s lips move in sync with the words, my mate speaks into the microphone and the words come out of its mouth, so it looks like the parrot is really talking.
		Anyway, Bobby turned around, looked at the parrot on its bike that had just taken the piss out of him, took a run up and booted the four foot high, quite heavy, parrot across the room.

		For most Eurotunnel shareholders, the only piece of small print that mattered in yesterday's financial restructuring was the bit that preserved their right to cheap tickets.
		This is an improvement on the previous Eurotunnel stalemate, which took on a surreal quality with shareholders refusing to recognise the grim financial reality: It is not dead, it is merely resting, mildly stunned, you could hear them say.
		The trouble is many still misunderstand how much it will take to resuscitate this dead parrot.
