Editing Dead Parrot sketch (section)

The bird was nicknamed the "Danish Blue Parrot" and "Norwegian Blue" in reference to the Monty Python sketch due to being a dead parrot from Scandinavia.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Parrot Fossil 55 Million Years Old Discovered In Scandinavia |url=https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080516123153.htm |access-date=2025-04-11 |website=ScienceDaily |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2012-04-12 |title=Norwegian Blue parrot really DID exist - but now they are all 'stiff, bereft of life and ex-parrots' |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/hp/front/norwegian-blue-parrot-really-did-exist-but-now-they-are-all-stiff-bereft-of-life-and-exparrots-6698891.html |access-date=2025-04-11 |website=The Standard |language=en}}</ref>
