Frequently Asked Questions

1. Should I talk to my Dead Parrot™?

Yes, absolutely, but don't expect it to talk back.

2. What do I feed my Dead Parrot™?

We recommend Purina Dead Parrot Chow . A ten pound bag should last the lifetime of your pet. Many owners recommend Febreeze . This cuts down on the odor as your Dead Parrot™ decays. Spray Lacquer keeps your Dead Parrot's™ feathers healthy and shiny.

5. How often should I feed my Dead Parrot™?

No more than once a month, unless you start noticing unpleasant odors. Then you should supply a hearty helping of Febreeze.

6. Where can I keep my Dead Parrot™?

As opposed to a live parrot, a Dead Parrot™ prefers to be kept on the back deck during the winter. This cuts down on the odor from decay. During the summer, we recommend that you store your Dead Parrot™ in a refrigerated environment at 25? Fahrenheit.

7. How do I keep my Dead Parrot™ healthy?

You should exercise your Dead Parrot™ daily. Take it for brisk walks. Bring along a Frisbee. Make sure that you and your Dead Parrot™ stretch your muscles (and/or wings) thoroughly before vigorous exercise.

8. How do I handle my Dead Parrot™ molting?

Each Dead Parrot™ comes equipped with Norwegian Blue Super Glue (part number 76-CX-5679). This comes in handy should any part of your Dead Parrot™ come off.

9. How often should I change my Dead Parrot's™ battery?

Your Dead Parrot™ is self-sustaining and solar powered. You should not have to change its batteries unless you purchase the accessory kit.

10. What about "pluckers"?

Unlike live parrots, most Dead Parrots™ do not have this problem. See Figure 1 below.
