Please be kind to translate and qualify

I found this from a story, it tells about a mischievous talking parrot let loose in a kitchen:

Pero un día se puso a hacer gracias de acróbata en los travesaños de la cocina y se cayó en la olla de sancocho en medio de su propia algarabía naval de sálvese quien pueda.

Is the style old fashion, or everyday conversation, etc.? I find it hard to analyze the structure of the last words following 'sancocho'. The three translation machines also had a very hard time feeding it back to me that they made no sense.

Just like the engines you gave the same puzzle pieces. I wish someone would show me how to put them together. You made 50% of the effort why not complete it? - babalou, Nov 26, 2010
