Eclectus Parrot- Aruensis Red-Sided -TV Star of a Washington Post Ad

We got together with a camera crew for an ad agency for the Washington Post newspaper, and spent 9 HOURS shooting a TV commercial with our Male Aruensis Red-Sided, BENNY. What a good boy he is. They put him through his paces, and he is the star of the ad. They presented him in a positive and humorous way. The theme of the commercial is a disgruntled guy that needs to search the want ads for a new job -- and his bird imitates his complaining about the boss and the job. www.prettyparrot.com
