More LOLParrots! (Cockatoos and Buckets)

By retrospectacle on July 18, 2007.

As you all know, I've been infected with the LOLVirus, symptoms manifesting as LOLParrots. The first three are a tribute to the LOLRus, who has fought nobly for his stolen bucket. Amazingly, across phyla, another poor creature feels his pain.
