Where does the “Party Parrot” meme come from?
The source image comes from the BBC documentary *Last Chance to See*, presented by Stephen Fry and zoologist Mark Carwardine. The clip shows Sirocco, a New Zealand kakapo, climbing onto Carwardine’s head and attempting to mate with him, while Fry laughs off-screen. The BBC uploaded this sequence to YouTube under the title *Shagged by a Rare Parrot* on September 29, 2009. Between this date and 2015, an unidentified person converted these images into a rotating, colorful animation. The GIF subsequently gained popularity on the Slack platform, notably via the *Cult of the Party Parrot* plugin, becoming a digital celebration symbol.
