A man walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender looks at him and says, "What's with the bird?"
The man says, "This is my pet parrot. He's amazing. He knows how to talk and sing, and he's a great companion."
The bartender is impressed and asks, "That's really cool. Can he do any tricks?"
The man nods and says, "Watch this." He puts the parrot on the bar and pulls out a tiny piano. He starts playing a tune, and the parrot starts singing along in perfect pitch.
The bartender is amazed and asks, "That's incredible. How did you teach him to do that?"
The man replies, "Well, it's a long story. You see, I found him in the jungle when he was just a baby. He had fallen out of his nest and was all alone. I took him in and raised him as my own. I taught him everything I know, and he's become an incredible companion."
The bartender is impressed and asks, "That's really cool. But what does he do when you're not around?"
The man smiles and says, "Well, he's got a bit of a gambling problem. Whenever I'm not around, he goes to the local casino and plays cards with the other animals. He's actually pretty good. He's won me quite a bit of money over the years."
The bartender is shocked and asks, "You mean to tell me that your pet parrot is a card shark?"
The man nods and says, "Yep. He's a regular at the casino. In fact, he's so good that the other animals have started calling him 'the feathered hustler'."
The bartender is amazed and asks, "That's unbelievable. What does he do with all the money he wins?"
The man looks at the bartender and says, "Well, he's got a bit of a drinking problem, too. Whenever he wins big at the casino, he comes back here and buys drinks for everyone in the bar."
The bartender laughs and says, "That's hilarious. You've got quite the companion there."
The man nods and says, "Yep, he's one of a kind. I don't know what I'd do without him."
