Kili's video on Animal Planet Blog

Postby Michael » Fri May 21, 2010 4:45 pm

Kili got featured on the Animal Planet Daily Treat Blog. In case you haven't heard, Kili has also been in some Bird Tricks training materials and is supposed to be on a BBC children's animals program (but I haven't heard if it's out yet or still in development). She also got mentioned on an About.com pet birds blog.

More recently her video was featured on the Sun Herald website.

Nice. If you don't mind me asking, do you get paid for that sort of thing?

I hope her ego doesn't get too big! Does she demand a private dressing room?

Sometimes I do. The blog ones were just links/embedding or mentioning me so naturally there is no requirement to pay for those. But some of the custom writing/videos I've done in the past I got paid for. I gave up most of that though to start the forum cause really not enough time to do both.

At the rate things are going I wouldn't be surprised.

Today Kili's 20 parrot tricks in 2 minutes got featured on a site called the daily what. It picked up a load of new views, comments, and favorites.

Also, I got a message from a producer of the Lopez Tonight Show displaying interest in having Kili flown out to LA to be on the show.

Apparently Kili is an "animal oddity" on Ripley's Believe it or Not:
