His mother was now living in Miami Beach, and
the young man didn't see her that often. His father
was no longer around and he was worried that
Mom was lonely. For her birthday, he purchased
a rare parrot, trained to speak seven languages.
He had a courier deliver the bird to his dear mother.

A few days later, he called. "Ma, what do you think
of the bird?"

"The bird was good, but a little tough. I should have
cooked it longer."

"You ate the bird?!? Ma, the bird was very expensive.
It spoke seven languages!"

A gentleman goes to an estate sale and notices that one of
the items for sale is a large parrot. He's always wanted a
talking bird, so when it comes up for bid he offers $50. The
bidding proceeds hot and heavy with someone always bidding
ten dollars more than he until the parrot is finally sold
to him for $1,500. When he goes to get the bird, he asks the
auctioneer, "Can the bird talk?" The auctioneer replied,
"Who do you think was bidding against you?"

A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean.
The audience would be different each week, so the magician
allowed himself to do the same tricks over and over again.

There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the
shows each week and began to understand how the magician
did every trick. Once he understood he started shouting in
the middle of the show:

"Look, it's not the same hat"

"Look, he is hiding the flowers under the table"

"Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades ?"
