- is not resting
- did not move
- is not stunned
- is not pining for the fjords
- has passed on
- is no more
- has ceased to be
- has expired and gone to meet his maker
- is stiff
- is bereft of life
- rests in peace
- would be pushing up daisies if he weren’t nailed to the perch
- his metabolic processes are now history
- is off the twig
- has kicked the bucket
- has shuffled off his mortal coil
- has run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible
- IS AN EX-PARROT
