Steiff Monty Python Dead Parrot Limited Edition 28cm EAN 691522

“I wish to register a complaint”.
Thus begins one of the most famous comedy sketches of all time, from Monty Python’s Flying Circus. A satire on poor customer service. Demonstrating the brilliance of the Monty Python team. It was first aired in 1969 and featured regularly in the group’s shows and live tours, becoming a firm favourite amongst Monty Python fans.

Our Steiff Teddy bear pays tribute to the John Cleese character, that of a customer complaining that the parrot purchased “not half an hour ago from this very boutique” is dead. Michael Palin, as the pet shop owner, protests that the Norwegian Blue (“beautiful plumage”) is only “resting”. As subsequent claims and denials only increase the absurdity, it is finally revealed that this is indeed, an “ex-parrot”! Come join the fun and celebrate the unique and timeless humour of Monty Python.

Limited edition of only 1969 worldwide. Made by hand, beige mohair and jacket of waxed cotton, the jacket has five buttons and an appliqué of the Monty Python Flying Circus logo on the back, Monty Python logo is also on the left sole. The parrot in his hand represents the unmistakable scene from the movie 'Flying Circus’
