The IPT is a Norwegian Blue ?
It's as clear as the nose on your face, that the IPT is not falling apart.

Mr. Jay takes the IPT out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter ("Hellooo, Polly!"), then tosses it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor without reacting in any way. Jasper remains unconvinced, claiming that it is now stunned, and that it is "pining for the fjords."
Mr. Jay points out that the only reason that the IPT had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been nailed there. Jasper counters that it was simply to stop it escaping. Mr. Jay disagrees in these words:
Mr Jay: It's not pinin', it's passed on! This IPT is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late IPT. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace, if you hadn't nailed it to the perch it would be pushing up the daisies! It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This is an ex-IPT!
Jasper admits defeat, claims that he is right out of IPTs, and offers a banks ring game as replacement.
