A Previews Exclusive - Whether you're told he's "just sleeping" or "oining for the fjords," one thing is abundantly clear: this is an ex-parrot; one passed-on polly! Following hot on the heels of the Monty Python Killer Rabbit comes the latest Python-inspired plush, the Dead Parrot.

Based on the classic Monty Python "pet shop" sketch, this is one polly who won't be wanting a cracker anytime soon.

Window box packaging. Scheduled to ship in March 2002, with a suggested retail of $16.95 USD.
