Anecdotally, I once found myself IN this pet shop. It was in the Caledonian Road, North London. I wandered in - I was passing and needed something or other - and realised it looked familiar. Then I saw the signed picture behind the counter. It was a still of John and Michael in that "very boutique".
The shop-owner explained that when they'd done the bit on TV, they'd HAD to do it in the studio - for the audience reaction. But since this was for the FILM ("And Now For Something Completely Different") there would be no live audience. And with the superior definition of a film, a set just wouldn't MAKE it. Real pet shops have CLUTTER. And so they'd gone and found one - HIS.
I don't know if the shop is still there - if it is, the guy has probably made more money letting people be photographed there (like on the crossing outside the Abbey Road studios) than he has selling Norwegian Blue parrots!
p.s. xmichelledd asked me if I'd post the following URL - for good karma! I've checked it out and it is what she said it was - a huge DVD set of ALL the Monty Python sketches, on Amazon - so fair enough.
The URL is: urlsnippy.com/CompleteMontyPyt...
But please note: Amazon are only able to ship to certain countries - however, if you live in one they DON'T ship to, you should still be able to find a NEW example of this set on EBAY - whose merchants can usually ship ANYWHERE. Just AVOID their "third-party" shipper - "Channel Advisor" - and use the merchant's OWN shipping service. Good luck.

    • The "Dead Parrot" sketch may have been inspired by a Benny Hill routine set in a taxidermist's shop where the taxidermist on duty sought to pass off a stuffed duck as a parrot (blaming its appearance on "steaming" and "shrinkage"). John Cleese had watched Hill's show in that period, however he couldn't remember that particular bit.

    • I didn't remember that non sequitur with the two sketches conjoined either, but it's even more creative the way these equally wild, hilarious sketches are linked that way. The shop proprietor keeps trying to avoid admitting the parrot is dead, deflecting in various ways and then finally escapes the annoyed customer altogether by leaping into a fantasy about wanting to be a lumberjack. In doing that, he also ends up unwittingly exposing his secret desire to be a "girly". So his escape from the embarrassment in the shop actually turns out worse for him as he's pelted by rotten fruit and veggies as everyone becomes disgusted by his gender change fantasy.

    • And I've never, not ever, understood MP 'humor'. I've seen so many sketches trying to 'get it', and none has given me even a chuckle. Hearing so many people saying how hilarious they are just leaves me baffled. On the other hand, "Dude, Where's My Car?" left me breathless with laughter, along with the "40-year-old Virgin", and as a throwback, Rowan and Martin's Laugh In. So it's not like I don't appreciate and enjoy humor. More modern is Peele and Key's sketches, which slay me. I just don't "GET" Monty Python or their appeal.

I've watched so many of their sketches, specials, etc trying to see why so many find them HILARIOUS, and...nothing. Never once even a chuckle. It truly baffles me what could be considered funny in any of it. On the other hand, I find Key and Peele sketches hilarious lol. The "40-year-old Virgin" left me in pain from laughing so hard. I absolutely love "Dude, Where's My Car?" for the campiness and hilarity, so it's not that I don't enjoy humor, or even stupid humor. I just cannot 'get' what MP is doing that is 'hilarious' or even remotely funny.
