There was some concern that the dead parrot sculpture in the grounds of Devonport House might have become an ex-parrot sculpture when it seemed to vanish but fear not: the dead parrot is safe and well (or as well as a dead parrot can be).
The piece by John Reardon, titled ‘Monument to a Dead Parrot’, has been moved to a safe place and a marquee will temporarily take its place. The hotel is being taken over by London 2012 equestrian grooms this summer and the dead parrot will return when the hotel is handed back in September.
