- "Hello! I can hear you!"
- —Iago
Iago is a vocal parrot who was given to Captain Haddock a gift from Bianca Castafiore upon her arrival at Marlinspike Hall for a holiday in The Castafiore Emerald.
Iago could memorise the Captain's curses. This vocal irritation of Haddock is also complemented by his tendency to bite the Captain's finger or no reason.
