For the curious, there's some history to that parrot emoji:

Perhaps a better source for 'history'[0]

On a side note, Last Chance to See is a great book (Douglas Adams) and show (Stephen Fry), highly recommend both of them.

I wouldn't call that history. I only encountered a variant of this gif once, on a discord channel having the face of one of the two streamers. This site just shows me a lot of very similar gifs.

Towards the bottom it gives a little background, with links to more information.
