You have to use curl:

> curl parrot.live

Otherwise parrot.live redirects (which HN followed otherwise link here would be parrot.live).

Reminds me that I made a rainbow unicorn that jumped across your screen as a cmdline utility to be run after all tests passed. Coworkers got a good laugh if nothing else. Fun times.

Sadly the domain never.gonna.give.you.up was not available.

Parrot.live uses computer generated ascii art rather than one made by a human artist. It seems as if people already don't value the art part either.
