Parrots just, um, parrot their owners. So maybe you need to find the person who originally said he wants the rum w/ a worm. The original owner of the parrot.
My guess is that since it's a parrot, it's imitating another npc. I saw the dialogue "I need to quit smoking" which would narrow it down and I'm sure there are other dialogues that give hints as to who the npc is.
I'm pretty sure I saw an npc somewhere and I think it was an undead female that said the same as the parrot, the thing is I really don't remember where she was. Somehow I remember her being in Dustwallow Marsh, but I'm really not sure at all. Also Bijou is a goblin located blackrock spire ( classic.wowhead.com/npc=10257/bijou ) And I also found a reddit post about this ( www.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/fe8um1/there_is_an_unsolved_mystery_in_classic_wow_opus/ )
@@valarya I'm pretty sure Bijou he is referring to is the name of one of the goblins related to quests in the area and BRD. I think she is spying in LBRS? Don't remember the entire quest line.
Well remember, there was a lot of half-made quests that got removed and they left NPCs behind. This could be one that almost got finished and then they forgot this one bird before release.
But why would they then move on to cage it on the PTR? They can't have forgotten about it if he is now caged. Could be that they saw the reddit post and caged him now to show that there is nothing going on with that bird. And they want people to stop wasting their time :D
A vanilla wow private server guild actually was looking in to this in 2012 and they got as far as basing it off a story of a miner and his family living in Nevada during the late Gold Rush, I don't remember the story or the source but the miner's name is Kieran Guergo i'm sure you can find something, hope this helps. I'm excited to see if they cracked it in the end
I read the reddit on this about a month or 2 ago and it was amazing. Ppl brought up the idea the tobacco quest in stratholme, and doing something with bijou in LBRS, trying to drink the rum with worm and maybe /puke near the bird like how momma birds feed baby birds, and tons of other things.
There’s an NPC in Tirisfal Glades named Junior Apothecary Holland, his quest involved Doom Weed - smoking? And in the late 90s the was a movie called Mr Holland’s Opus. Could be related.
Cuergos Gold is a direct reference to Jose Cuervo Gold, the tequila. The rare one with the worm is an old pop culture reference where tequila with a worm in it was hyped up to near mythical proportions regarding the potency. The biggest mystery about this whole thing is what kind of pirate drinks Tequila and not Rum?
On the topic of Rep, They are booty bay associates, you can kill them and you don't lose rep. I do recall at exalted with Bloodsail Bucs (enemies of Boot Bay) you gain access to the the uniform and Admiral's hat, which can also summon a Parrot pet. The treasure map also mentions they'll take "blood as a key" possibly referencing being a Bloodsail Buccaneer? Just a thought...
Holy crap, I forgot about you! This video randomly popped up in my recommended, and I remember why I loved your videos so much. Looking forward to future content!
Opus as a Latin word is typically used in conjunction with Magnum for magnum opus (Great work), however the parrot is talking about quitting smoking and wants a drink, maybe (and this is a long shot) its a Magnum PI reference? Is there an NPC who's a series reference maybe?
Opus noun 1. MUSIC a separate composition or set of compositions. 2. an artistic work, especially one on a large scale. "he was writing an opus on Mexico" A Latin word meaning a work, used to mean a particular piece of music by a composer. Maybe more birdies talking/singing.
OK, I read the reddit and there was a comment from FloridaMan_69 that mentions the reference to Finkle and Einhorn from Ace Ventura. Has anyone tried interacting with the white version of Opus while having the Ace of Beasts? Ace was trying to catch an albino pigeon and Ace of Beasts = Ace Ventura Pet Detective.
It is a Longshot but how about the Pet that you can get from Deathmines? Maybe you need it next to Opus with your Parrot out and drink the Gold with Worm
This is something I know no one wants to hear...but maybe the birds owner is/was a bloodsail buccaneer and you need to be exalted rep to interact with it?
Bijou - NPC - World of Warcraft www.wowhead.com/npc=10257 Bijou is mentioned by the insane bird "Opus" in the horde campment, in the cave. He tells you alot of stuff, but much of it doesn't bring any lore.Bijou is found in Black rock spire maybe take her your drink?
Who is the owner of the bird? Is there any NPC named Magnum or a statue dedicated to a character of sorts? Is there a specific NPC who uses a gun or weapon that looks like a Magnum? The thing to note is that it is just a bird, a parrot, which are known to repeat words. You mentioned it being in a cage, but who locks the bird in the cage? The bird near the end says he needs to quit smoking.. so his owner must smoke. Take note of all the things he is saying to characterize his owner and search for an NPC that matches that description.
There is an NPC in LBRS named Bijou classic.wowhead.com/npc=10257/bijou Maybe she is the orignal owner of the Parrot? Parrot will just mimic the words from other people.
I'm sure you have tried. But what happened when you used the item and then tried to talk with the bird?? Maybe using the item makes u able to talk to the bird?
@@lorenzo3 Yes, go outside, party, make some friends! Just walk around.... empty cities... under lockdown... You know, usual stuff you do during a pandemic.
It's just a Questline who was never finished, because Blizzard had to many ideas for Classic WoW and not enough time to even finish a third of it. Maybe they will finish it now because they don't seem to have many fresh ideas nowadays and have a tendency to go back to former times like they do with the unpruning.
He says “bijou lost” bijou is a jewel or trinket(treasure),so lost treasure, he says “ask kibler about the treasure” and also “kibler is being investigated by G.E.T.A” so whoever their captain or a those shipmate is is the owner of the bird. He also says something about IRC’s going into the “spire just like bijou”
I think you pretty much nailed it, was supposed to be part of that quest or just a reference to it. Much like the naga in that cove in tanaris, was gonna be part of an attunement but just wasn't added before launch so they just canned it.

How is this not top comment
Just what i was thinking, and the parrot talks about some lost guy
Fras Siabi the cigar dude! Stratholme has a tobacco shop and this parrot talks about quitting cigars xD
Doesn't he say sth. about bijou? Isn't there a bijou in ubrs?
Would be funny if it is a secret that ends up giving you the Bengal tiger mount.
My guess is that since it's a parrot, it's imitating another npc. I saw the dialogue "I need to quit smoking" which would narrow it down and I'm sure there are other dialogues that give hints as to who the npc is.
what i was thinking
Also it mentions a Bijou so could it's secrets be unlocked today with ZG? :o

The devs have said there is stuff in the game that has been round since Vanilla that haven't been found, so it's very possible this wasn't solved.
Is there a source for this? I always hear people say it but never knew the source
@@ksherman51 I can't recall it off hand, but I'm sure there is somewhere.
Well I remember Jeff saying there where also ghost quests they wanted to add
When the parrot mentions Cuergo's Gold with worm, have you tried drinking it in front of him ? To see how it reacts.

Fredstar because they are pasting phases of the quest in the world
@@SupplyOfShorts If you read all of the reddit post you'd find out that Opus is also caged on live servers, its just rarely happening.
Maybe you need to do some sort of a emote a hundred times just like with westfall chicken so you can interract with it.
bruh thats *exactly* where my head went XD! I was thinking "has anyone tried /squacking at it repeatedly or something...."

Nobody mentioned the parrots name is an anagram of sOup.

pretty sure someone posted on reddit int he last 2 weeks the guy who originally made the quest saying there is no secret quest

Have you tried corpse explosion?
Holy crap, I forgot about you! This video randomly popped up in my recommended, and I remember why I loved your videos so much. Looking forward to future content!
Jenafur still hasn't been solved and is going to reach 7th month anniversary soon aaaaaa help us
Maybe Opus is repeating things it has heard from other people. Find others related to Opus and maybe you'll find the person that wants the liquor.
I just realised, your vids from 1/2 weeks ago havent showed up on my sub feed. YT is messing again
JENAFUR. Let’s get this stupid cat before we worry about the parrot. This is taking forever....
If you go at war with them, can you mind control?
You have to get drunk on Jose cuergo and defeat the Ol' Smoky boss.
Did you try emoting at the parrot? Remember the secret chicken quest in westfall ? Maybe it’s similar
Christian Slone maybe try giving it a drink?
Opus as a Latin word is typically used in conjunction with Magnum for magnum opus (Great work), however the parrot is talking about quitting smoking and wants a drink, maybe (and this is a long shot) its a Magnum PI reference? Is there an NPC who's a series reference maybe?
Wear the full pirate outfit with the drink when u try to interact with tge parot
Opus
noun
1.
MUSIC
a separate composition or set of compositions.
2.
an artistic work, especially one on a large scale.
"he was writing an opus on Mexico"
A Latin word meaning a work, used to mean a particular piece of music by a composer.
Maybe more birdies talking/singing.
cuergo's gold is reference to the real life tequila Jose Cuervo, any NPCs named Jose? lol
Well now I know where that bottle of Cuergo's gold one of my alts still has in the bank in BFA came from. Thanks.
OK, I read the reddit and there was a comment from FloridaMan_69 that mentions the reference to Finkle and Einhorn from Ace Ventura. Has anyone tried interacting with the white version of Opus while having the Ace of Beasts? Ace was trying to catch an albino pigeon and Ace of Beasts = Ace Ventura Pet Detective.
Kieran is a Nelf NPC in Darn. Kieran Guergo was referenced earlier as the miner who's story this is based on. That's all I got.
Carry that character to PTR maybe? With the alcohol in your bags and see if you can do anything with the parrot!
Hey its that mage on the IF Bridge!
The Name of the parrot is interesting, it is the name of a very famous wine Opus 1, maybe that will help
i would love it if the build of classic was from a private server that added secret shit like the ashbringer or something. tht be neat
Motzart, Drank and smoked he had many Opus they were numbered, maybe it has something to do with this? instead of Don giovanni maybe Don Julio?
Can you interact with the animal of you'r an animal yourself? So if you were polymorphed for example?
It is a Longshot but how about the Pet that you can get from Deathmines? Maybe you need it next to Opus with your Parrot out and drink the Gold with Worm
Have you tried walking in the same direction the parrot is facing? Maybe there is a clue/NPC somewhere hidden in that direction.
I read both reddit threads, I want to believe!!!!! Keep us posteeeeeeeed
Well now I need a CUERVO'S Gold or Silver will do... funnily enough they don't make copper.
This is something I know no one wants to hear...but maybe the birds owner is/was a bloodsail buccaneer and you need to be exalted rep to interact with it?
Bijou - NPC - World of Warcraft
www.wowhead.com/npc=10257
Bijou is mentioned by the insane bird "Opus" in the horde campment, in the cave. He tells you alot of stuff, but much of it doesn't bring any lore.Bijou is found in Black rock spire maybe take her your drink?
Holy cow this is amazing! But the details you mention in the video are only like 10% of the entire mystery and possible connections!
I did that quest......way back then.
Who is the owner of the bird? Is there any NPC named Magnum or a statue dedicated to a character of sorts? Is there a specific NPC who uses a gun or weapon that looks like a Magnum? The thing to note is that it is just a bird, a parrot, which are known to repeat words. You mentioned it being in a cage, but who locks the bird in the cage?

Been a while. Good to hear ya voice again mrgll
Good work on this Mmrrggll!
Is it possible to drink a bunch of those worm drinks and than maybe the the parrot become interactable?
Maybe a Mindcontroll from priest on one of them opens up something ?
There is an NPC in LBRS named Bijou
classic.wowhead.com/npc=10257/bijou
Maybe she is the orignal owner of the Parrot? Parrot will just mimic the words from other people.
Parrots repeat what they hear? Maybe you need to find who owns the parrot and interact with them!
Could mimick the parrot and see if anything new happens.
did u emote him?
chicken quest make u do /chicken over and over
Mr. Mmrggll.. your back!
I'm sure you have tried. But what happened when you used the item and then tried to talk with the bird?? Maybe using the item makes u able to talk to the bird?
Can you drink the item and talk to the parrot or maybe go with a buccaneers hat on
More videos, please!
Awesome video!
Hey bud im definitely supposed to be subscribed to you, and i just subscribed again. Dont know whats up with that
Releasing the bird on release xd
I made a video on that spot for gold farming :)
He’s a parrot. What if he heard it from a pirate or goblin?
Maybe the bird copied the dialogue from whoever owned it before.
welcome back
How have you been?!
Hope you are fine and healthy.
Doing well, not much been going on here with corona about.
Did you drink it in front of the parrot?
Any news??
Help us solve Jenafur Mmrrggll!!
Chasing a dream, keep looking lul
lack of content making classic community lose their minds. in the next video - witch hunt!
i think people need to play less and enjoy more life....
@@lorenzo3 Yes, go outside, party, make some friends! Just walk around.... empty cities... under lockdown... You know, usual stuff you do during a pandemic.
@@ShadowZeroFlame he might be Swedish, they dont have a lockdown. They just rather watch the population die off slowly.

4:54 Hold on. PTR for Classic?
Yeah there's a PTR to make sure the new phases release well.
FRAS SIABI
Hey you back
Is this channel just nothing but classic now?
Now I remember why I stopped watching you.
Thanks!
It's just a Questline who was never finished, because Blizzard had to many ideas for Classic WoW and not enough time to even finish a third of it. Maybe they will finish it now because they don't seem to have many fresh ideas nowadays and have a tendency to go back to former times like they do with the unpruning.

He says “bijou lost” bijou is a jewel or trinket(treasure),so lost treasure, he says “ask kibler about the treasure” and also “kibler is being investigated by G.E.T.A” so whoever their captain or a those shipmate is is the owner of the bird. He also says something about IRC’s going into the “spire just like bijou”
ThatGuyKB32 ! Like the LBRS quest bijous belongings?
Mike Petrovic aye already making progress @mmrrggll
I think you pretty much nailed it, was supposed to be part of that quest or just a reference to it. Much like the naga in that cove in tanaris, was gonna be part of an attunement but just wasn't added before launch so they just canned it.
/chicken
I saw this on reddit and nobody seemed to care outside of that post.
I just wanna no why you didn't kill that troll smh unsub:(

unfortunately I haven't played OSRS in a long time.
Thanks for wasting my time I want my 7mins back
