Tims Parrot, 2019.: There are some stories that sailors sometimes brought parrots home from tropical places; both as a companion and as a souvenir from foreign destinations. It did not happen without conflicts, and parrots was sometimes ordered under deck by the captain. Partly hidden in a small supply room next to the surgical room, the audience met an overseized parrot lying on the floor with its legs in the air. Perhaps it has been drinking from the golden liquid in the rum barrel, which constituted the only anaestetic during the painful operations and treatments of the crew?
