Jemppu Posted October 19, 2006 From the Bricklink forums: "I recently purchased a legends Black Seas Barracuda and was suprised to open it and find a blue parot inside painted with the parot markings. It is not listed in BL and I am curious if anyone else has found this suprise as well?" I though, if anywhere, this would be a good place to ask, if anyone else has come across anything like this. Given that the blue parrot has only appeared in Belville sets without markings, seems an odd, but interesting find :D Maybe someone at the TLC played a practical joke and threw one blue in a bin of red ones to see if it'll get spotted ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a feeling it will turn out to be fake/wrong, but there seems to be little purpose in making up a story about a blue Lego parrot. Come to think of it, it could cause quite a commotion among the AFOL's lol. Lets hope we can get a picture posted! - Sting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted October 19, 2006 First a picture is needed... What IS this lad actually referring to? He reckon he's getting a picture so we'll have to stay tuned. Apparently the blue parrot can be found in Belleville sets 5858 The Golden Palace and 5857 Safran's Amazing Bazaar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Bucanero Posted October 19, 2006 Man, I really want a blue parrot with pattern!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted October 19, 2006 It doesn't appear they come in patterns though. Maybe you could do a custom Mr Tiber. I don't really like the parrots without patterns because they look too bland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scouty Posted October 19, 2006 Perhaps a mix of the wrobg grabules was made and it came out as a blue pirate and then the printing machine made it's mark. This could have been an error in the assembly of this set while in the lego factory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted October 20, 2006 "Wrobg grabules"? Is that a typographical error for "wrong granules" or is there really such a thing as "Wrobg grabules"? The_Panther_X has yet to provide a picture to confirm that it actually has the colour design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sting Posted October 20, 2006 I didn't even know there was a blue, red, green, or pink Parrot. That is interesting. I agree with Phes... most of the parrots without markings do look kind of bland, particularily with the tropical pirates that most Pirate locales are associated with. We need a picture. I think this man may have a typo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted October 20, 2006 Did you know there was a yellow one Mr Sting? :-D The user who made the claim still hasn't posted any pictures of this parrot so I've posted in the BrickLink thread asking one, but it probably won't make any difference.

Scouty Posted October 20, 2006 Eeeeeh. Hehe, my bad, just a typing mistake I didn't catch. What post in the BL thread? I see none. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brick Miner Posted October 21, 2006 I agree with Phes... most of the parrots without markings do look kind of bland, particularily with the tropical pirates that most Pirate locales are associated with. :-D that is probably because you are used to looking at the parrot, you pirate ;-) it's really what your eye get use to seeing... i would expect any die-hard pirate fan would say the same ;-):-D :-D :-D my biggest complaint is that LEGO never made any other bird molds past the parrot... LEGO needed a parrot for pirates, so they made one... but then they got lazy, and the parrot became the standard for LEGO birds... strange. the dark gray bird in the western theme is presumably a vulture, right ??? i mean, there are no parrots in the desert :-D paradisa was fine,... cause it's paradise, tropical, right ??? but they desperately needed a new mold for other themes. -------------------------------------------------- as for the topic... i would love to see this blue bird w/ parrot decoration too... hmmm... how much would i pay for such a rarity ??? - Brick Miner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scouty Posted October 21, 2006 Don't they have an owel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted October 21, 2006 Eeeeeh. Hehe, my bad, just a typing mistake I didn't catch.What post in the BL thread? I see none. You're right. I appears to have disappeared... Don't they have an owel? Yes, there is a LEGO owl used in many sets and it seems to come in more colours than the original parrot. Check out Peeron's Owl reference list.

Scouty Posted October 21, 2006 Mister Phes, do you have an account on BL? Ah! the owl. I actually think I have one in black. Also, Lego had a bat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brick Miner Posted October 21, 2006 Yes, there is a LEGO owl used in many sets and it seems to come in more colours than the original parrot. Check out Peeron's Owl reference list. good call !!! however, that parrot mold still represents too many kinds of birds.... at least the owl is a good addition !!!- BrickMiner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Governor Broadside Posted October 23, 2006 What post in the BL thread? I see none. There's a link to the thread in the first message of this thread. Mister Phes, do you have an account on BL? As mr_phes ;-) The user who made the claim still hasn't posted any pictures of this parrot so I've posted in the BrickLink thread asking one, but it probably won't make any difference. I haven't seen any messages by you in the BL forum yet. ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Panther_X Posted November 9, 2006 Hello everyone. I am the controversial Panther. I was invited to post here about my Blue Parot note on BL. I didn't think anyone read it. I posted it a long time ago. I have submited it for review by BL admins, but anyone on BL should now that BL Admins take their sweet time puting up stuff. It is real and so far only one other person admits to getting one. I am in Japan until December 1, 2006 but when I get to my own computer I will happily post the scans of the bird here if you keep the thread open. If not it will eventually be on BL. I got the bird in the Legends series set. A rerelease of the Barracuda. The other guy says his came in one of the Jack Stone sized Pirate sets. It is not a BLue Blue parot it is lighter in color than standard blue...I would guess medium blue, but thats only a guess based on the BL Color guide...Im don't own any other medium blue yet for comparison.
