Monocaw:
noun. A
monocaw is a quite elaborate term coming from the early sixteenth century, when pirates from Monte Carlo introduced the fashion of carrying around colourful parrots on one´s shoulders. What the word describes is a
macaw that has to wear a monocle because of a slight sight deficinecy, usually caused by one eyed peering into telescopes and a parrot version of the Stockholm syndrome, which describes the state when a
macaw actually begins to sympathise with its capturer to such an extent that when living with a one eyed pirate, the vision of one of its eyes begins to deteriorate.
