Answer: Economics professors do not care about the ability to teach retarded undergrads economics. Therefore the parrot would not get tenure; it would be hired as adjunct faculty.

Awwk!"
Given that "supply and demand" is pretty much your average Econ 101 prof's answer to any Econ-related question containing the word "why", I'm surprised the Parrot didn't have tenure.
