Parrot Lost For Words

The Englishman and The Scotsman were abroad so they phoned Interpol and sent a gorgeous parrot to their friend The Irishman. When they arrived home however The Irishman opened The oven and produced The parrot well and truly roasted saying, 'Let's have some lovely roast duck for dinner.'
That isn't a duck you fool,' they said to him. 'It's a parrot and it could speak seven different languages.'
'In that case,' said The Irishman, "why didn't it say something before I put it in The oven?'
