Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for July 18, 2023

Verne is a good host.

Why is it called “hospitality” when there’s a good host – and not “hostility”…

They like finger food to …. /s

Now I know why the caged bird sings.

That looks like a Long Island Lout. They’re very talkative.

New York had a statewide kill order on parakeets for a while. The shut it down after claiming success, but it wasn’t. The birds folks let loose are now a problem throughout the northeast.

I read where a parrot of a crook was a stool pigeon causing the crooks arrest.

What a pain in the parrot.

Is that parrot gonna be a new recurring character or a one-off? Also, if it is, remember the arc from two years back where RJ tried introducing a new character to the strip, Gary the goat, but Verne refused to let him stay?

Go Polly!

I had a small parrot that would sit on my shoulder. When I ate we were cheek to cheek, made it easier for him to get to the food I was eating.

What happens if you get a chimp and a parrot aping each other?

PWA: Straight outta bird pen.

The Parrot could at least ….. say “PLEASE” …… :)

love him…remember it’s @ before # except after $

Polly has an attitude.

I had a friend whose Parrot could whistle for the dog, it really used to pi$$ off the dog when that happened.
