This was on a FB forum, and I thought it was very cute!

HOW TO STUFF YOUR PARROT ON THANKSGIVING
1 Turkey Mashed potatoes/gravy
... Corn Pudding Cranberry Sauce
Green Beans Hot Rolls
Stuffing Relish tray
Sweet Potatoes Pumpkin pie/whipped Cream
Hot Coffee
Get up early in the morning & make yourself a cup of coffee. It is going to be a long day so place your parrot on a perch nearby to keep you company while you prepare the meal. Start getting out the roasting pan and mixing bowls.
Remove parrot from kitchen counter and place back on perch. Prepare stuffing ingredients; remove
parrot from edge of stuffing bowl. Stuff the turkey & place it in the roasting pan, remove PARROT from edge of pan. Go to coffee maker and get another cup of coffee
to steady your nerves.
Remove parrot's head from turkey cavity and re-stuff voided area. Prepare relish tray; remember to make twice as much so that you will have a full tray to serve after the parrot has eaten his fill. Remove parrot from kitchen counter. Prepare cranberry sauce; discard berries accidentally flung to the floor. Peel potatoes, remove parrot from edge of potato bowl.
Arrange sweet potatoes in a pan & cover with brown sugar & mini-marshmallows. Remove parrot
from edge of pan & replace missing marshmallows.
Brew another pot of coffee. While it is brewing, clean up the shredded filter and old coffee grounds from around the pot. Pry coffee bean from parrot's beak. Have another cup of coffee & remove parrot from kitchen counter.
When time to serve the meal: Place roasted turkey on a large platter, cover beak marks with strategically placed sprigs of parsley. Put mashed potatoes into serving bowl; re-whip at last minute to conceal bite marks and footprints.
Place pan of sweet potatoes on sideboard; forget presentation cause there is no way to hide the areas of missing marshmallow now. Put rolls in decorative basket, remove parrot from side of basket along with beaked rolls, and serve what is left. Set a stick of butter out on the counter to soften - think better of it and return it to the refrigerator.
Wipe down counter to remove mashed potato foot tracks. Remove parrot from kitchen counter & place back on cage. Put green beans and pudding on sideboard.
Go back to kitchen to carve pie into serving slices. Wipe whipped cream off parrot's beak & place large dollops of remaining cream on pie slices. Whole slices are then served to guests, beaked-out portions should be reserved for host & hostess. Place parrot inside cage & lock the door. Sit down to a nice
relaxing dinner with your family - accompanied by plaintive cries of "WANT DINNER!" from the other room.
