Thanks 404,
I just need to add this (monty python):

...Owner: The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, innit, squire? Lovely plumage!

**** Mr. Praline: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.

**** (pause)

**** Owner: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!

**** Mr. Praline: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised! ...etc.

So, I guess not just Norwegian Blues need to be nailed down.
