Hmmmmm- the understudy is very colorful. I bet he doesn't bite, is very quiet, and doesn't make much mess around the house, does he? That's my kinda parrot

We dropped into a bar where a friend's band was playing and some guy asked me, "Is that a real bird?"

Okay, pal, it's not THAT dark in here, so you must be drunk. Like I'd take a real bird into a bar.
And yes, Understudy is hardly any trouble at all. He doesn't eat much, and he has a switch under his tail, so if I want him to be quiet, I just turn him off.
