class MetaLoad(type):

        obj = type.__new__(cls, name, bases, dict)
        return obj
    def __call__(cls, *args, **kwargs):

        instance.on_load()
        return instance

class Parrot(object):
    __metaclass__ = MetaLoad
    def __init__(self, colour='blue'):
        print "I'm a Norwegian %s." % colour
    def on_load(self):
        print "Loaded"
