The Dead Parrot Sketch
Monty Python
The Pet Shoppe
A customer enters a pet shop.
Customer: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(The owner does not respond.)
C: 'Ello, Miss?
Owner: What do you mean "miss"?
C: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
O: We're closin' for lunch.
C: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
O: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
C: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
O: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
C: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
O: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
C: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
O: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
C: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up!
(shouting at the cage)
'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...(owner hits the cage)
O: There, he moved!
C: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!
O: I never!!
C: Yes, you did!
O: I never, never did anything...
C: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!!
Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
(Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
C: Now that's what I call a dead parrot.
O: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
C: STUNNED?!?
O: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
C: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.
O: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
C: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
O: The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!
C: 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.
(pause)
O: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
C: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
O: No no! 'E's pining!
C: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!
'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies!
'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig!
'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
(pause)
O: Well, I'd better replace it, then.
(he takes a quick peek behind the counter)
O: Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of parrots.
C: I see. I see, I get the picture.
O: I got a slug.
(pause)
C: (sweet as sugar) Pray, does it talk?
O: Nnnnot really.
C: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?
Thanks for viewing and favein.
Watching this python resting below the surface of his pond; he gradually moved toward the surface and just poked his snout and eye above the surface... so fascinating and yet thankful there is a viewing glass in between us.
die gelbe Schlange ist auch ein dunkler Tigerpython, jedoch ein Albino. Da ihm die Tarnfarbe fehlt, haben sie in der Natur keine Überlebungschance.
Liasis olivaceous
The largest snake I've seen in the Northern Territory so far - a big old Olive python that I'd guess was around 2.6m long.
The Green Tree Pythons (Morelia viridis) are very comfortable on tree branches. They loop into a coil over a branch to form a saddle position. Then place their head in the middle for a bird's eye view of any rats passing below.
Apparently, due to this snake's popularity with herpetoculturist, their range has been extended from New Guinea, islands in Indonesia and Cape York Peninsula in Australia. Green Tree Pythons can now be found in the wild in Florida, U.S.A.
Python bivittatus
A healthy adult male that was found and captured crossing a road late at night in south Florida. Though most people associate pythons with Everglades National Park, this species continues to expand its range to the north and west in south Florida. This big male was found right on the periphery of the suburbs while driving home from field work.
A skeleton of an Indian python, on display at London's Natural History Museum. Processed mostly in-camera, using a high contrast filter.
A high and tight ridge top to a mineral python has a wide throne carved into its edge - wide enough for one person with an elaborate costume, two people with a relationship or three people with a desire to talk as the view from the throne is perhaps not apt for viewing people or organised entourage.
On the crest, there was no room for a tripod, and my wife held my leg as I panned and rowed 12 or more shots using a 35mm Takumar. The final result is a boot sale of buff and blither, but worth posting to relay the essentials of the site element.
Whilst it doesn't show with this montage, the act of sitting on the throne leaves legs dangling many metres above the grind granitic scape, and I had far more vertigo sitting than I had scrambling for this perspective. I think that maybe one is used to jumping out of a chair to get something, and having a rocky fall rather than life's modern carpet turns the head...
Far below can be seen the river Tormes, which tends to be an east west river until it decides to be a north south river. It has passed through today's Salamanca and for people centred around the Iron Age Castro of Ulaca (featured in adjacent posts) a days walk west would meet with the river which in turn feeds to the important Douro valley - a confluence just 4km from the throne and visible as a valley-top high right on the above montage.
Behind the throne is a potential post hole and shade may have been procured between this structure, weave and tethers...
The surfaces cohere with late Neolithic and Bronze Age as much as Iron Age, and although the main stay of the greater site is Iron age, it is possible that some elements had quiet cultural pasts through the bronze age and even beyond.
AJM 30.07.21
A last picture from Moody Garden's rainforest pyramid: a green tree python (Morelia viridis). I initially thought it was an emerald tree boa (Corallus caninus), but thanks to Darren and Alexis (see comments), I hope we have now identified the right species though.
Two albino Tiger Pythons (Python molurus) "kissing"
The left one had removed its old skin just minutes before, You can see a rest on its nose (and yes, I have photos from this). These snakes become very large, up to 7m. The two here are rather large too, not easy to say, but maybe 5m.
After so many studio shots I today needed to go "for a snake" with my sons. Taken in Salzburgs "Haus der Natur" with my new macro lens.

Python molurus is a large nonvenomous python species found in many tropic and subtropic areas of South Asia and Southeast Asia. It is known by the common names Indian python, black-tailed python and Indian rock python. The species is limited to Southern Asia. It is generally lighter colored than the Burmese python and reaches usually 3 metres
Darwin Carpet Python (Morelia spilota variegata)
Now THIS is closer to what I was envisioning for that last Darwin Carpet Python photo.
It's certainly a lot easier when it's smaller and less (surprisingly) aggressive.
Australia's second largest python, the beautiful Olive Python (Liasis olivaceus olivaceus)
Another one finally checked off my extensive list!

Morelia/Simalia kinghorni
A large Scrub python photographed in situ in the Wet Tropics World Heritage area, Queesland, Australia. I often encounter this species on roads at night but finding this large individual on foot was a special moment.
I'm not entirely sure of the taxonomy of this species currently, genus is either Simalia or Morelia and species has intermittently been kinghorni or amethistina. In either case this is a Far North Queensland individual, whichever taxonomy you follow.

I like python, but alive!
But I don't like a python around my neck, It's horrible!
The green tree python (Morelia viridis) is one of Papua New Guinea's most well known of snake species. Its range also extends to the western half of New Guinea, nearby Indonesian islands, and parts of Australia's Cape York Peninsula. It can be found in a variety of habitats including dry forest, swamp forest and cultivated areas, from sea level to 1,800 m elevation.
The green tree python is characterized by a relatively slim body. The species usually reaches a total length of 150-180 cm, but large females may reach 200 cm. The size also varies depending on the region of origin. Males can weigh about 1100-1400 g, females up to 1,600-1.800 g. Generally, they are a vibrant green in color but some adults are blue or yellow. They have a series of white or blue dorsal and/or lateral spots evident in most.
The diet consists mostly of small mammals, such as rodents, and sometimes reptiles and small birds.
This picture is taken in Burgers Zoo in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
De groene boompython (Morelia viridis) is een middelgrote slang uit de familie pythons (Pythonidae) die maximaal ongeveer 2 meter lang kan worden maar meestal kleiner blijft (circa 140 à 160 cm). De lichaamskleur is groen met gele of blauwe strepen en gele of witte vlekken. Mannetjes en vrouwtjes zijn lastig uit elkaar te houden. Vrouwtjes worden vaak wel langer.
De groene boompython komt voor in zuidoostelijk Azië; op en rond het eiland Nieuw-Guinea en de eilanden rond Nieuw-Guinea. Tenslotte in Australië in het noordelijkste puntje van de staat Queensland, genaamd Kaap York. De groene boompython leeft in tropische, warme en vochtige regenwouden die dichtbegroeid zijn. Het is een typische boombewoner die zelden de bodem betreedt. De groene boompython is te vinden van laaglanden tot een hoogte van 2000 meter boven
Door het gespierde lichaam, behendige grijpstaart en lange tanden is de python gespecialiseerd om vanuit een tak snel uit te halen naar een prooi. Hierbij wordt de staartpunt gebruikt als lokaas. Deze wordt heen- en weer gekronkeld waardoor prooien, als kleine zoogdieren, soms reptielen en kleine vogels, worden aangetrokken, en als ze dicht genoeg genaderd zijn slaat de slang bliksemsnel toe. De python is niet giftig en doodt zijn prooi door wurging.
Deze opname is gemaakt in Burgers Zoo in Arnhem.
