What is its title though? Does the story end after the last human is killed or does it go on with the intelligent extraterrestrial birds and the surviving terran parrot exploring space?

Thanks for fixing the link. Why no cats? Because cats would eat parakeets, and therefore cats are evil.

A cat named Polly in a Parrot subforum would be similar to a dog named Fluffy in a cat subforum, so only if dogs are allowed to chase the cats out of the Parrot subforum would cats be allowed to visit, unless they're cool cats.

Mine actually did come burdened with the name Polly...I've since extended it to 'Polly Esther'. But I'll keep her out of the forum, unless she walks on my keyboard...

I'm impressed.

Incredible that no matter how inane a conversation gets, there will be an image somewhere on the internet that sums it up...

The cats and birds can co-exist in peace. Long live the Cirds.

I'm going to move this to Random and hope nobody takes offense. With the short-staffing and everything else going on right now I really need to keep the dot net forum open to problems and complaints.

My apologies to the OP.

@Lee - If you were that cat, would you be happy?

@'keet - Somewhere out there, there's a sci-fi story of the last man on earth...basically a wild child who survived what killed everyone else; his only companion is a talking parrot. Enter a race of intelligent birds in their spaceship, who conclude that the parrot is the sentient being and the kid is the trained animal. They end up killing the kid to protect the parrot - exit humanity.

u probably mean a Twilight Zone episode called "Time enough at last"- whoch the simpsons parodied for their treehouse of horror.

and btw, the Chinese are coming
