A series of Russian puppet [[StopMotion stop-motion]] shorts created between 1976 and 1991. The series as a whole doesn't really have a name, so everyone calls them by the name of the [[FirstInstallmentWins first and most popular episode]]: ''38 Parrots''.

* MemeticMutation: "Measuring in parrots" has become a Russian idiom meaning measuring something with units that don't make any sense, often humourously compared to video graphics cards benchmarks. Also, the Russian version of Google Calculator [[AscendedMeme accepts both ''boa'' and ''parrot'' as a units]] and lets you measure, say, the radius of Earth in parrots.
