Parrot Beak

Famous quotes containing the words parrot and/or beak:

“The island dreams under the dawn
And great boughs drop tranquillity;
The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
A parrot sways upon a tree,
Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“His beak is focussed; he is preoccupied,

looking for something, something, something.
Poor bird, he is obsessed!”
