معنی
To be very lucky.
زمینه فرهنگی
Fugleskydning (bird shooting) is still a popular tradition in Danish 'borgerforeninger' (citizen associations), especially in smaller towns. The winner is crowned 'Papegøjekonge' (Parrot King). Similar idioms exist in Norway and Sweden, reflecting a shared history of marksmen guilds and medieval traditions across the region. In Danish offices, this phrase is often used to congratulate colleagues on big sales or promotions, showing a blend of traditional language in modern corporate life. Tabloids like Ekstra Bladet or BT often use this headline when someone wins the national lottery (Lotto).
Use the Perfect Tense
90% of the time, you'll use 'har skudt'. It's much more natural than the present tense.
Don't say 'en'
Remember: 'papegøjen' (the parrot), not 'en papegøje' (a parrot).

Envy vs. Joy
Danes use this to be happy for others, but if said with a certain tone, it can imply the person didn't deserve their luck. Watch the body language!
