I know a dead parrot when I see one

Stone dead, deceased, bleedin' demised, passed on, no more, ceased to be, expired, gone to meet its maker,a stiff, bereft of life, rests in peace, its metabolic processes are now history, kicked the bucked, shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain, joined the bleedin' chhoir invisible... this is an ex-parrot!
