We need a little colour this grey morning. I was expecting one of your witty comments as I scrolled down. Perhaps the one on the left is telling the other the Monty Python parrot joke!

Thanks both. Stephen - have added a 'witticism' above.

Lovely colours and I can see that you haven't been able to resist your shot of humour! I love the expression on the right hand parrot's face - says it all.

These parrots are so cute and love your sense of humour too!

Thanks Debs and Thea

"hist...have you heard the one about the parrot who fell off his perch?" That's it...anyone got a punch line?

"Oh dear, an MP has struck again. Polly put the kettle on we'll be needing some tea" Bright and cheerful Michael, just what we need. (Hope nobody takes umbridge, my attempt at a joke :) )

How about the left one saying to a rather disbelieving right hand parrot, 'Honestly, we are all called Polly'.

Posted by Thea Cable on Fri 13 Jul 16:04:59

How about, Robert De Niro's famous line from Taxi Driver; "you talkin' to me?" Or, "Who you calling bird brain." Great sketch and great idea!

"Watcha cock"

Posted by Sylvia Evans on Fri 13 Jul 16:44:21

" Watcha cock....keep yer pecker up"". I am British not American so it's not rude.

They made me smile. Lovely. I am useless at jokes ...

"I suppose we'll have to put 2 kettles on, but they won't suit us"

Posted by Linda Wilson on Fri 13 Jul 20:05:29

Wow - didn't expect such a great response and am really grateful to you all for joining in a bit of fun - thanks again.

A few more ideas: Cut out the small squawk; You're repeating yourself again; You look as sick as a human; I love your amazing technicolour dreamcoat Joseph

How about 'we are all in this together" lol!

Posted by Pat Harris on Sat 14 Jul 22:08:17

Great painting, even better with your fantastic sense of humour :)

Left side parrot ' I can see she didn't use wash powder for colours on you this time!) Nice one Michael.

Posted by Carole Swingler on Mon 16 Jul 11:55:55

Another lovely piece, Michael - simple yet so very effective. Love the way the washes merge and flow against each other.

Just fancied doing this one for the simplicity of it........... POL parrot on the right is saying: 'Oh for goodness sake stop talking' An alternative caption: Pol parrot could be saying: 'Yes I know I'm a pretty boy - now will you kindly shut up!' - Alternative captions invited
