Pirate Parrot: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

[[Diabolical Mastermind]]s have the [[Right-Hand-Cat]]. [[Pirate]] Captains have the '''Pirate Parrot'''. Expect these colorful feathered companions to [[Polly Wants a Microphone|be chatty and demand crackers]]. Pirate Parrots usually [[Parrot Pet Position|ride on the shoulder of their pirate owner]].

 

For capuchin monkeys, see [[Everything's Better with Monkeys]].

 

* On ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'', Vicious has an exotic bird perched on his right shoulder most of the time. This only heightens his mystique (and overall evil aura). It's a cormorant (a kind of sea bird that has acidic droppings and a nasty temper). This, combined with the fact that he [[Kick the Dog|blows it up]] in one of the final episodes, probably does say something about [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Vicious]]. It's inspired by Harlock's bird, noted below.

** [[Truth in Television]]: Cormorants are trainable to a certain extent, and some fishermen in Asia use them as pretty much an aquatic equivalent of hunting hawks. Having one would probably be ''more'' useful to a pirate than a parrot.
