This morning along Standard Chartered Bank alley.
Wonder what's the cause???

(Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
Customer:
Now that's what I call a dead parrot.
Owner:
No, no... No, 'e's stunned!
Customer:
STUNNED?!?
Owner:
Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up!
Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
Customer:
Um... now look... now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.
Owner:
Well, he's... he's, ah...
probably pining for the fjords.
Customer:
PININ' for the FJORDS? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
Owner:
The Norwegian Blue prefers keepin' on it's back!
Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!
Customer:
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!
Customer:
"VOOM"? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
Owner:
No no! 'E's pining!
Customer:
'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! He's f*ckin' snuffed it!
THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
(pause)
Owner:
Well, I'd better replace it, then.
(he takes a quick peek behind the counter)
Owner:
Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of parrots.
Customer:
I see. I see, I get the picture.
Owner:
(pause) I got a slug.
(pause)
Customer:
Pray, does it talk?
Owner:
Nnnnot really.
Customer:
WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?
Owner:
Well! I never wanted to do this in the first place. I wanted to be... A LUMBERJACK!
not funny at all!...Ms.Apple is right, this should be reported to the authority by the street sweeper, but to my surprised the janitors didn't event picked it up instead, just pushed them aside near the building post!Well, I don't know, but shouldn't we be aware of this avian flu hitting some neighboring countries???
I think from I see and understand it looks like a case lack of Safety Standards in construction building where the bird was working, or may be Heat Stroke for working in Extreme Climatic conditions. Or be a Victim to Demolition Notice of his Nest...
Strange but True.

It should be sent for laboratory investigation, did anyone reported it to the health authority? did someone from the health inspectors came to take the dead bird?

The Pet Shop
A customer enters a pet shop.
Customer:
'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(The owner does not respond.)
Customer: 'Ello, Miss?
Owner: What do you mean "miss"?
Customer:
(pause) I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to register a complaint!
Owner:
We're closin' for lunch.
Customer:
Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
Owner:
Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...
What's,uh... What's wrong with it?
Customer:
I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad.
'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
Owner:
No, no, 'e's uh,... he's resting.
Customer:
Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
Owner:
No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'!
Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay?
Beautiful plumage!
Customer:
The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
Owner:
Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
Customer:
All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up!
(shouting at the cage)
'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...
(owner hits the cage)
Owner:
There, he moved!
Customer:
No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!
Owner:
I never!!
Customer:
Yes, you did!
Owner:
I never, never did anything...
Customer:
(yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly)
'ELLO POLLY!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing!
This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
(Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
Customer:
Now that's what I call a dead parrot.
Owner:
No, no... No, 'e's stunned!
Customer:
STUNNED?!?

I see dead birds all the time around Doha
Possible reasons for death are...
- Disease
- Heat
- Dehydration
- Killed by someone or something
- Lack of food
-
Dehydration.
I think the bird died due to thirst n heat stroke its very hot n humid out there
I could be wrong though
not funny at all!...Ms.Apple is right, this should be reported to the authority by the street sweeper, but to my surprised the janitors didn't event picked it up instead, just pushed them aside near the building post!Well, I don't know, but shouldn't we be aware of this avian flu hitting some neighboring countries???

The questions that merges are:
Did he died of being Depressed?
Did he died because he forgot to wear the seat belt and got ejected in landing?
Does anyone have QCIS phone number?
