I don't understand what you mean with the last sentence. I've never
intentionally indicated that the parrot gag may been submitted in
words description only. 

My thoughts about that are rather the contrary, because I imagine(!) it
as a script like the ones Barks made for the Junior Woodchucks. This is
a pure guess, though.

Or do you mean something else?


Best wishes,
