that is so cool but what is up with the song it's so silly?

As you can tell from the video we do a show, a pirate show with parrots. At the time I was video taping this footage, I just happened to have this song playing as part of our intro music before the show started. I just placed the footage at the right parts of the song to make this video. Chris

Nice video Chris! Suns are so good at that... So how much dough did they rake in?

[chrisbiro1]

Not as much as people usually think they are taking in. It looks like a lot but the little cuties must make a lot of trips to that vase for it to add up to much. It helps us with our fuel costs and food costs when we are at an event. Actually we make far more money doing photos with the birds. But we have chosen to do the dollar bill trick instead because we think people enjoy watching this process more than they enjoy watching the photo process. Chris

Do you ever take your parrots to your local bank?

I just loved this, especially the removing the dollar from the jar. Suns are just so enterprising.

Too bad we only have 5$ bills in Canada, or I would teach this trick to my future birds :(

Brilliant!

Very cute, love the song, and those Sun Conures pay for themselves!! Love my little Scallywag Jupiter the Sun Conure. If only he could do that.

Sun conures are very smart birds. Good trick.

[kirkygirl]

I love the song. it's so silly! Perfect for these little scallywags!

Hypothetical question: I know that at the Bird Show at the San Diego Zoo, they do this trick with a Galah (cockatoo), with the difference being that the money is actually returned. Do you think that, if your birds were trained to return the money, that they could carry the weight of two bills? (one bill being a donation, the other being used to complete the trick)

good way to make money =]
