Since the movies were so successful, they've made over the ride at Disneyworld (Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones both make appearances), but there used to be an audio-animatronic parrot over the ride's entrance that talked to visitors and sang "Yo-ho, Yo-ho, a parrot's life for me."
I missed him on my last trip down!
Not parrot-related but bird-related: My daughter and I just returned from NYC. While there, we visited the "Design for the Other 90%" at the Cooper-Hewitt. We ate lunch in the museum's garden, where the gardener pointed out to us a hawk perched on a ledge of the building! It was being mobbed by smaller birds, and after a little while it took flight. When we left the museum an hour later, we encountered a knot of people on the corner of 5th Ave. and 91st St., all of them craning their necks skyward. The hawk was perched on the crossbar of the traffic signal! It was still being mobbed by smaller birds, several of which actually struck the hawk as they swooped by it. I wonder if this hawk could be one of the offspring of Pale Male.
Oh, but where's the Norwegian Blue?

In the cheese shop of course.
Parrot Orlando Bloom and Parrot Keira Knightley would have been more compelling than the human versions.
i see african and asian birds. the hawk-head is the only new world bird in the poster, but i don't think they range into the caribbean, do they? they could have done better.

True about the parrots.
However, the pirates came from Europe, Africa & Asia so weren't native birds ^-^
none of the parrots are caribbean. instead, the parrots are, from left to right, the Java moustached parakeet, Psittacula alexandri alexandri, endemic to Java and Bali; hawk-headed (red fan) parrot, Deroptyus accipitrinus, amazon basin, south america; derbyan parrot, Psittacula derbiana, southwestern china, female eclectus parrot, Eclectus roratus, found on one of several islands of the southern pacific ocean (depending upon subspecies).
