Discworld Hints
How can I retrieve the sailor's parrot?
1 of 20: Do you remember seeing any other birds in the game?
2 of 20: Probably not. But wherever they are, they certainly don't live in Ankh-Morpork.
3 of 20: They're about as far away as you can get.
4 of 20: Try looking at the Edge of the World. Polly should be there.
5 of 20: Try calling her with the whistle that the sailor gave you (use it on yourself).
6 of 20: She wants a cracker.
7 of 20: So give her one.
8 of 20: Or at least something whose name is close.
9 of 20: A fire cracker will work.
10 of 20: You can get fireworks from the crate near the city gate, and there are matches in the Broken Drum (you may have to ask the bartender for a drink before you can take the matches).
11 of 20: Light the firecracker and then throw it to Polly. She'll fall into the water, but that's okay, since you can always fish her out of there.
12 of 20: The butterfly net might work.
13 of 20: Pity that it's too short.
14 of 20: If only you had another handle to attach to it.
15 of 20: Like Windle Poons' staff (in Unseen University).
