Ha! So you could!
Glad you liked the pictures, @CommanderRoss! It's a fantastic collection. I was there for a talk on 'The Secret War and the Lysander', which was obviously relevant to my interests. Now I need to read Hugh Verity's We Landed by Moonlight.
Ah yes, I am familiar with that problem!
I hope you come over to the UK some time so we can do an air museum or two together!
That'd be a lot of fun! For now I'm afraid I first have to get my infant son addicted to aviation ;-)
So, the CSA Parrot can show it's feathers too:
And the famous (ehem) Marc Parrot, aso f yet only a prototype is flying:
Stereotypical pirate with hook, eye patch, peg leg and parrot--with eye patch, peg leg--working for S.C.U.M. (Saboteurs and Criminals United in Mayhem).
I rather like them - tropical birds in London make me feel as if I'm living in a J.G. Ballard novel.
Yes the Rose-ringed parakeets are quick to take hold and establish themselves, they thrive at the edge of cities. I've witnessed them in places like Aqaba Jordan, and most recently the Embarcadero area in San Francisco.
Most noticeable noisily gathering in treetops right before sunset. Groups of parrots and parakeets are properly known as a pandemonium for a reason.
Oh, that would not do to limit the field, @CommanderRoss. It's best to canvas an area completely, you never know what you might find.
And parrots with peg legs and eyepatches generally cannot go without mention.
And who knows where those slivers of inspiration went.
So I found this (notional) example.
More real, there was the Blue Jay missile (later Firestreak), shown here with a De Havilland Sea Venom FAW 21. (Vincenzo Auletta, artist.)
Plus you never know what might show up as nose art.
