What was the name of Long John Silver's parrot and companion in the 1883 novel Treasure Island?


  • Captain Flint:When Robert Louis Stevenson published his swashbuckling novel, Treasure Island, in 1883, his descriptions of Long John Silver set the bar for all literary and film pirates to come. It was Stevenson’s character that gave us such pirate tropes as a shoulder parrot, a wooden peg leg, and a chest of buried treasure. Long John Silver had a pet parrot named Captain Flint, who was often perched on his shoulder where she would nibble on seeds. Captain Flint was known to chatter pirate or seafaring phrases like "Pieces of Eight", and "Stand by to go about."
