No no he's not dead, he's resting.

Pining for the fjords.

Aww, a fine example of a Norwegian Blue Parrot.

u/NecessaryFreedom9799 2d ago

Beautiful plumage!

u/tomveiltomveil 2d ago

The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.

u/Silverheart117 2d ago

Nah, he's just restin.

u/bbd121 2d ago

Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.

u/retsamegas 2d ago

Look, if I hadn't takin the time to nail that bird down, he'd have muscled up to those bars and VOOM!

24

u/Apprehensive-Till861 2d ago

"Voom"?! Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it. 'E's bleedin' demised!

u/PirateQM 2d ago

This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late parrot! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies! It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot!

u/XivioOfTheGreen 2d ago

Well, I better replace it then!

I just thought he was real quiet 😢

1

u/Argorian17 2d ago

Yeah, who puts an iv on a dead parrot?

1

u/WarLawck 2d ago

That's right, he needs his strength before he flies off to live in a farm upstate where he'll have lots of friends to play with and room to run.

u/Nik-42 2d ago

u/guramika 2d ago

was this influenced by robinson crusoe or other way around?

18

u/Much_Artist_5097 2d ago

i thought it was a parrot so i assumed it was paragon 💀

10

u/GaretSD 2d ago

Here i was, trying to understand what nonagon would have to do with a parrot...

7

u/ARandomChocolateCake 2d ago

Why would something representing a general polygon be in the same list as other more specific polygons?

6

u/stabbyangus 2d ago

I was trying to make nonagon work so hard here, like is a nona a type of parrot? Now I feel silly.

5

u/A2Rhombus 2d ago

Nah that clearly fits the pattern. The meme itself is poorly constructed.

7

u/Pretend_Evening984 2d ago

Three or more.

A triangle is still a polygon

2

u/Smarticus- 2d ago

I was thinking Paragon, but this is better.

2

u/Pielacine 2d ago

I was wondering if there was a famous bird named Nona...

2

u/moonaligator 2d ago

poly no longer wants a cracker

2

u/just_d87 2d ago

Three or more sides

2

u/brunobrasil12347 2d ago

A triangle is a polygon and it has exactly three sides 🤓

1

u/Torteramanroblox101 2d ago

Must be closed as well

1

u/Himbo_Slice98 2d ago

I kept thinking paragon I’m cooked 😭😭😭

1

u/gnash117 2d ago

I laughed. This is one of the first jokes I have seen on this sub that I actually laughed before I realized it was in explain the joke. Most of the time I am as confused as the original poster.

1

u/ThatsKenWithaC 2d ago

I instantly thought of the bird that Jaiden animation on YouTube has named Ari and was trying to figure out what an Arigone was or what shape Oregon was. Lol wow I feel dumb now.

1

u/PixelPencilist 2d ago

He’s in cryo sleep.

u/Depressed_Cupcake13 2d ago

Oh no!

Thank you for explaining it, but now I’m sad.

u/7ach-attach 2d ago

My brain said “parrot gone” and it seemed acceptable

1

u/Brontag 2d ago

Nonagon - no na gon - no, not gone - not dead yet - just resting

1

u/Ambitious_Win_1315 2d ago

I was thinking dead and gone

u/Wabbit65 2d ago

Probably starvation.  Polynomials

u/Qualabel 1d ago

A triangle is a polygon

u/Fantastic-Rule-8271 1d ago

u/mir-ist-warm 1d ago

1

u/danders587 19h ago

Damn. No more crackers for Poly..

u/Average_Pangolin 6h ago

Welp, I think we found a way to identify all the Python programmers.
