Parrots in Film and Television

[Ark]

Also, can't forget the upcoming "Rio"! And don't be fooled, the lead characters aren't Hyacinths... they're Sphynx Macaws.

I think you mean Spix Macaws.

And the part about the male being found in someone's home and returned to Brazil, well there is some truth to that too.

I wonder how many more may just be hiding out there.

Not sure how much it counts, but I caught an umbrella cockatoo at 2:07. :P

I noticed a Scarlet Macaw, Blue and Yellow Macaw, and White Cockatoo in the movie Throw Mama From a Train. This was the scene when Margaret was boarding a cruise boat in Hawaii. As she was walking through the bustling port you could catch a glimpse of the three parrots on the same perch and hear some squawking.

Also I spotted a discarded box outside from Corona beer which had a Blue and Yellow Macaw on it. Beats me what a parrot has to do with drinking beer but here's a few of their ads I spotted online:





Yeah, don't get me started about that one

I think you need to get out more! Of course you find parrots in warm beachy places where you go to lie around while swilling beer and boat drinks, and people tend to think of such places as being parrot habitats (it is amazing how many parrots are placed in tourist locations in Hawaii, for example, even though a Macaw or a 'Too is definitely not a native inhabitant!). Also, beer does help soothe the nerves when the volume runs high... although personally I prefer a martini.

Corona = Mexico = Exotic = Parrots.

I was at Wal-Mart today with my family, and we were walking past the shoe section. There's a sign for these sandles, with a tropical background and a Senegal parrot.

Me and my brother had to stop in the Mcdonalds to see what Rio toys they had. My brother bought a skateboarding parrot, but they didn't have the cockatoo toy, so I got nothing

When we got home, my brother went up to Einstein and introduced him to his new pet parrot.

Today I saw 2 different commercials with a cockatoo in each.
