This Parrot walks into a bar...

 

I have noticed the various birds in the neighborhood have been taking turns perching on the highest branch of the tall tree across the street.  Sometimes there are two to three crows sitting up there enjoying the view.

When it isn’t the crows, there are many Ibis occupying the spot.

However, when it is a hawk, there is but one.  No one joins him, nobody shares the branch or engages in casual conversation.

I’m guessing being King is a lonely position.  No friends, no gossip or neighborhood scoop.  I expect they are born without a sense of humor.  That’s why nobody jokes with him or likes to hang around, just being buds.

I admit, I’m not all that familiar with bird humor, and it is probably only the woodpeckers that enjoy a good knock – knock joke.
