What do you give a sick bird?

This joke is a pun that plays on the similarity in sound between “parrot” and “paracetamol,” which is a common pain reliever and fever reducer (known as acetaminophen in the United States and commonly by the brand name Tylenol). The humor arises from the image of giving medicine to a sick bird, with the medicine being humorously tailored to the bird itself (a parrot). It’s a light-hearted play on words that combines animal humor with medical humor, creating a whimsical idea of specialized avian healthcare.
