Parrots in cartoons

Parrots have often been depicted in classical illustrations and I mention five here: an eerie and dark illustration by Hablot Knight Browne, for a leaf of Dombey and Son, sees a reprobate grouping, with a parrot in a cage right in the middle of the frame somewhat to the rear and yet placed upon the table at which the gathering are sitting: a comical illustration by Charles Keene, Involving a stuffed parrot with a grim-faced owner complaining about the fact that the bird is molting, with the taxi-dermist saying “but it is the molting season madam”; an Art Nouveau cover design for a rare books catalogue by Aubrey Beardsley, depicting a lady at leisure, with a parrot and a cockatoo, being the only other inhabitants of the frame; a very detailed picture by Gustave Dore of a host of Victorian women and children, strolling through a parrot walk in a zoological gardens and a humorous political satire combining an MP with a parrot and another MP with a monkey, entitled Mischief.
