Tales of Monkey Island Hints
How do I catch the parrots?
1 of 9: You won't need to do this till you're assembling the ingredients to shrink La Esponja.
2 of 9: You'll need two things: something to catch them from a distance, and something to keep them in once they're caught.
3 of 9: They're wispy little things, aren't they? Kind of remind me of fireflies.
4 of 9: Remember the net on a long handle you saw as a ghost?
5 of 9: It's on the ocean floor. Go into the Gateway rip and jump off the raft; as a zombie, you can now just pick it up.
6 of 9: The thing to keep them in is already in your inventory.
7 of 9: When you took the Ferryman's tip jar, Guybrush emptied out the money and kept the jar.
8 of 9: When you have both items, go back to Treasure Hunt and click on an X to dig up some parrots, which fly over to the Trezer sign. Walk over to the sign (staying downscreen so you don't scare them off and have to start over) and use the net on them.
9 of 9: Now combine parrots and jar in inventory to bottle them up.
