[edit] Obtaining An Ex-ex-parrot
Optional Items to Bring: a chisel and an ectophial
- Talk to Bill Teach on his ship in Port Phasmatys, or on Mos Le'Harmless after completing the Rocking Out quest. Talk to him about the quest, and he will give you a magical cage.
- Talk to 50 Ships Mufassah located upstairs in the bar on Mos Le'Harmless. He will give you a dead parrot, the Ex-parrot.
- Use the Ex-parrot on the magical cage.
- Take the magical cage and your chisel to the rock slab located just west of the Mos Le'Harmless cave entrance.
- Use the magic cage on the slab. This requires level 71 Summoning and will turn the parrot into an Ex-ex-parrot.
- Use the chisel on the slab to obtain rock fragments. This is the food for your parrot pet that keeps the parrot undead. (This is unnecessary if you have a pet feeder in your house.)
- Take the parrot out of the cage. Congratulations, you have a pet!
[edit] Feeding the Ex-ex-parrot
There are three ways to feed the Ex-ex-parrot:
- Feeding it rock fragments by using a pet feeder in your house.
- Using a pet feeder in a player owned house.
- Putting the parrot back into the magical cage, then using the cage on the rock slab.
Note: The last option is not recommended due to long travel times to Mos Le'Harmless.
The Ex-ex-parrot has no growth stages. It only requires feeding occasionally while following the player.
[edit] Chat
Unlike other pets, players can understand the Ex-ex-parrot without needing 10 extra Summoning levels past the original requirement.
Ex-ex-parrot: Braaaa.....cawwww..braaaaawk... [What evil looks I get from the young and the old.]
Player: Well, I can't see anything wrong with you, aside from the maggots. Oh and the smell. And the whole 'Blasphemy against life' thing.
Ex-ex-parrot: Braaaaaaw....braaaaw... [My mistress find me lovely.]
Player : Who is your mistress?

[edit] Trivia
- The name "Ex-ex-parrot" is a reference to the classic Monty Python "Dead Parrot" sketch, in which John Cleese exclaims "This is an EX-PARROT!"[1]
- The examine text "This parrot has un-ceased to be" is another reference to the "Dead Parrot" sketch, in the quote, "It has ceased to be!"
- When the parrot is used on the stone slab (without the cage), the following message appears in the chatbox:
- Something sinister happens a long way off.
- But, for all intents and purposes, nothing interesting happens.
- The parrot's speech all pertains to the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". Specifically, the woman who is life within death, the painted ship upon the painted ocean, and the beginning of the poem where the Mariner starts telling his tale to a man attending a wedding.
- The parrot originally belonged to Achmed the Brutally Violent.
- When the Ex-ex-parrot says "Wanna hear a story?" and "A long one!", it may also be a reference to the movie "Polly".
- The Ex-ex-parrot's comment of "Because I like weddings!" may also be a reference to Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean.
