This 1999 box figurine depicts three caged parrots busy at work planning their escape. Master Carver Peter Calvesbert's signature mouse is an unwitting accomplice as he performs for onlookers, distracting attention away from the soon-to-be fugitive birds. Peter says that he always wanted a parrot but that his pet cockatiel, Spike, would have nothing of it. Before the arrival of the cat, Algy, Spike had free run of the house. Though he is now caged for his own safety, he still struts about the artist's studio shed.

The dismembered fingers at the base of the figurine refer to what happens when one is tempted to pet a parrot. A file and more fingers are inside Version 1. The Infinity Version contains a book entitled “The Great Escape.” Hallmarks include ©, 99, HBC logo, ed.# (1), and Pc.
