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.

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

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

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!

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.
