50-Foot Dead Parrot Drops Into London to Promote Monty Python Reunion
By Chelsea Lish • July 18, 2014
To promote the live broadcast of the comedy troupe’s July 20 performance, UKTV’s Gold channel and sculptor Iain Prendergast created a massive fiberglass dead parrot, which was suspended from a crane and laid talons-up in London’s Potters Field this week. The bird is, of course, a reference to Monty Python’s enduring “Dead Parrot Sketch.”
