No, Winston Churchill's bird is not alive. The bird, a grey parrot named Polly, died in 1950.
Polly was a beloved companion to Churchill, often seen perched on his shoulder or in his study. The bird was known for its ability to mimic Churchill's voice and even learned to say phrases like "Good morning, Mr. Churchill" and "Let's have a drink."
Churchill's affection for Polly was well-documented. He even wrote about the bird in his memoirs, describing it as "a faithful and devoted friend."
While Polly's life was tragically cut short, her legacy lives on as a symbol of Churchill's love for animals and his unique personality.
