The Magician and the Parrot

"A magician worked a cruise ship. The audience was different each week so the magician did the same tricks over and over again. There was only one problem. The Captains parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the magician did his tricks.
Once he understood, he started shouting out in the middle of the show, "Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table!" or "Hey! Why are all those cards the ace of spades?"
The magician was furious, but he couldn't do anything because it was the captain's parrot.
Then, one dark and stormy night on the Pacific, the ship sank and all the passengers drowned. The magician luckily found himself on a piece of wood floating in the middle of the sea and as fate would have it, with the parrot.
They stared at each other, but did not utter a word. This went on for day. And then two days. And then three. Finally, on the fourth day, the parrot could not hold back any longer and said:
"Okay, I give up. Where's the ship?"
