Amazonia the Parrot

Amazonia the Parrot is a character from the early drafts of Muppet Treasure Island. Intended as Long John Silver's sidekick, and a variation of the traditional "Polly the Parrot," Amazonia was a sultry, Marlene Dietrich-esque character. As recalled by Jerry Juhl in ''MuppetZine #16, "she and Long John developed a strange, ephemeral, romantic rolationship. It got very weird. Eventually it got too weird. Amazonia was sent to the Home for Unused Characters."
