"You are being shagged by a rare parrot."
I love this, from Stephen Fry's "Last Chance to See"
"Look, he's so happy!"

Oh man, I saw that the other day, couldn't wipe the smile off my face. I love Stephen Fry 'and' Kakapos, though if that was me the bird would have been ceremoniously removed sharpish - I had a cockatiel with a penchant for shagging my head so I'd not want that x 20

The gleeful look on the parrot's fat little face just cracks me up. I don't think that would ever get old.

It must have been the photographer's green shirt that got him going.

It was the thread title that bought me here. But I stayed for the parrot.

I've watched the video twice, it's that good. And the episode will be on BBC HD in just 45 minutes. So we'll watch it again.
The poor photographer. He probably wasn't thinking of parrot shagging when he signed up.

The thread title sounds sort of like a bizarre mod for Zork.
>You are being shagged by a rare parrot. Grab parrot. >The parrot avoids your grab. >You are being shagged by a rare parrot. Shake off parrot. >I don't understand "shake off." >You are being shagged by a rare parrot. Let parrot continue. >The parrot continues. It flaps its wings in your face. Look he's so happy. Look. >You are in a jungle. There is a TV show host laughing at you, and another camera man filming you. There is a rare parrot on the back of your head shagging away. >You are being shagged by a rare parrot. Remove parrot. >The parrot cannot be removed. >You are being shagged by a rare parrot. >The parrot scratches you with its talons. Take 1 damage. >You are being shagged by a rare parrot.

Thanks!
 As you can tell, the memories of getting caught in those frustrating rooms in Zork where nothing you tried would solve the problem are still painfully fresh.

^ (parrot moving in on photographer)
TGG, I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts! As for the parrot, it is so ridiculously cute! It probably lost it's flight ability because any predator that came up on it just stood there looking at it because it was so freakin' cute - and that's when the parrot would move in and shag it into submission.

Earlier in the episode the 'boyfriend' (biologist Mark Carwardine) was actually pleased when the same Kakapo scratched his arm. The Kakapo in question (Oscar?) was had reared and likes humans so much that he has display area (dome) just outside the researchers' nut, and often comes inside (although his mating attempt is unusual). As they have a life span of over 100 years he will hopefully learn what a real Kakapo looks like (I find it surprising that hey do climb trees; Douglas Adams (who did the same series of encounters with extremely engangered species with Mark Carwardine for a book)called the Kakapo "A parrot which had not only forgotten how to fly, but had forgotten that it had forgotten how to fly".

I saw this on Rachel Maddow's show. She explained her reaction to it by describing herself asn 8YO boy.
Like Ms. Maddow, I was especially amused by the way the parrot flapped his wings during, um, the proceedings.
