Senegal Parrot Doritos Commercial

Check out Kili's Doritos commercial. Perhaps the first advertisement to show pet parrots as they truly are.

Xena is absolutely fascinated by any food that I eat, so I can only imagine that he would get super close to me on the perch and stretch his neck as faaaaaaaar as he can to try to snag some. :)

Although, I just thought about this--are you worried at all that this commercial will encourage bird owners to feed their birds junk food?

We already do, sparingly. Every time I have some kind of munchies, especially chips, either I give one to Vivi or she flies down and starts taking one bite of everything in the bowl. I could just put her back in the cage, but one tortilla chip once in a while won't hurt her - they're not exactly good for us either, right? :)

I think it's more the other way around. It discourages owners from eating junk food around their parrots or they might get hurt! The funny thing is that Kili didn't even want to eat the Dorito. Just flat out refused. I actually had her follow commands to pick it up and touch it. She didn't bite it off though. She didn't like it.

Corsair hops from my lap up toward my face when she wants my munchies. I put her back and she tries again.Sometimes I can fool her with something similar looking but slightly less bad for her than junk food I eat-like mini Shredded Wheat instead of Triscuits. :thumbsup:

Harp, I do that too.

Whenever I make popcorn for myself, I always have a tiny bowl left out with no sugar or salt on it for Vivi.

Ahahaha! Brilliant. :D I love how obviously fake the attacking parrot is, like it was made from styrofoam and dyed chicken feathers.


Kudos to you both (and Truman too -- nice voiceover work!),

P.S. There must be a subliminal message in the commercial somewhere, because now I'm craving Doritos...and I rarely eat them.

Pipp seems like she loves potato chips, so its just no point in trying to eat it with her on my shoulder. She would get really stressed, and possibly bite me to get her share. Im pretty sure the same would go for Corn chips :) Most of these are made with salt/oil/additives that no parrot should have, so I would just wait till they have gone to bed with eating anything like that :) I don't think Ive seen any organic unsalted chips here yet, we don't have any Wild by Nature/Trader Joe chains here, only speciality stores thats extremely expensive and I rarely visit them :)
