But why did we think all pirate crews had an old sea cook with a wooden leg, a captain with a parrot and at least one hook and two eye-patches elsewhere in the crew?

For centuries, sailors have called belugas "sea canaries, " for their musical squeaks and chirps. But this beluga turned out to be less canary and more parrot.

The magician luckily found himself on a piece of wood floating in the middle of the sea, as fate would have it... with the parrot.
