Default Parrot in the Ku Klux Klan

Ever see a picture and think it was something else entirely?

I was googling Horatio Nelson and a thumbnail came up of him with what I thought was a parrot dressed in a KKK outfit.

I thought someone had been larking about for a bit of fun. Then I saw the bigger picture, so to speak, and it's a ship.

Ah, but would membership of the KKK make the parrot inadmissible to Canada? Could it still emigrate on the same flight as Nelson, if he chose to import it?

They're very sensitive birds, you know, parrots...

Wings are popular in Canada. Does anywhere else have wing nights?
