    If I got the joke right... Zarathustra is the name of the prophet in Neitzche's book "Also Sprach Zarathustra" ("Thus Spoke Zarathustra"). So if Zarathustra is a parrot, he probably speaks. Get it? I think it's cute.

    ARRRGH! You beat me to it! :) That would be perfect for a parrot. Almost like "Quoth the Raven: 'Nevermore'"

    It is also the name of a magnificent tone poem by composer Richard Strauss. It's a very famous piece, and I'm sure you've heard it many times.
