Is this associated with some profession?

Are they predominantly female?

Predominantly female? Yes.
Are they Burlesque Dancers?

They are not burlesque dancers.
Are they British?

Originally yes, though not always native.

Is it the all the parrots that have been used in the famous Monty Python sketch?
