Chet, what is the deadline? I like to put things off to the last moment.

I’m excited to win!

Does singing count. My parrot sings his own little made up songs and it’s really funny to listen to him.

Chet 10/12/2009 11:24 am

Jenna,

What is the criteria that the video is judged on? Like if the bird talks in phrases, sentences, answers questions, etc. will that bird get a higher score than one who just says a bunch of words? Just curious.

I have an 8 year old African Gray that Talks alot and is funny. I am a comic and she didn’t learn it from me! I used to let my 23 year old have her with 4 girls living together she got quite an education. It is funny to listen to her talk to my Jack the Terror puppy. She used to bite me for years before I got him.

Hi Chet, My bird says a few bad words the usual ones that start with “F” and “S”, will this be ok? She wakes up in the morning saying these things that my husband taught her, is this ok? Thank You! Andy

Tami 10/12/2009 9:24 pm

What if your bird throws a few bleep, bleep words every now and then? I s he still eligible?

Cheryl 10/12/2009 11:24 pm

Christine The Birdnanny 10/12/2009 11:53 pm

You can go to youtube.com and in the search type “talking parrot Yodie” and his video comes up…He is the funniest ringnect ever!!!

Sandra 10/14/2009 6:15 am

Just saw the deadline. Hope I can make it. I just recorded my B and G Macaw yesterday but flying to Boston until Sunday. Hope I can make it! My Chiquita has had about 40K hits on Youtube with his immitation of Spongebob. Why is it though that they do their best stuff when the camera is off? I did catch a few of his best though.

Chet,
How about singing? This by no means is an entry because I don’t have a video (yet)! I have an African Grey named Jo-Jo (see attached pic).
I thought it would be fun to teach him the chorus of a 70′s bubblegum tune by the title “Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep”. I’ve also attached a version of this song so you can listen to it first. And, of course, Jo-Jo’s version of the chorus (lyrics altered to fit Jo-Jo).
Have a good one!
Rog

Roger,

Yes, singing birds can enter this contest too, we’d love to hear them.

ashley 10/16/2009 1:14 am
