 I hope they made a fake bird. My fellow Snippers, flighters, and hatchlings. My name is Marlene McCohen and this here is Brando. Look at her face. She's looking at me like, are you going to introduce me or what? Yes, this is Brando and she's got eyes on my finger and I love to annoy her. Anyway guys, where is my early bird squad at? Don't forget to hashtag below so I can see those of you who are first. And let me give out a couple of shout outs to my flighters. Shout out to Annie Bates, Jane Guy, and Edwin Roses. Alright guys, I'm really excited about our video today. Don't forget to wait till the end of this video to see which one of your birds I have featured. I love watching your birds on Instagram so if you hashtag pick me Marlene, then you are officially submitting your entry to be on the channel. So I'm really excited about that. Alright, let's get right into the video. Let's do my reactions to these video clips of parrots in movies which I did not choose. As you know, Meg Han, M-H-E-H-A-N chose them for me so I haven't seen them. She actually wouldn't let me see them. I actually tried but I tried without thinking like, I wasn't thinking like, oh this needs to be a surprise. I'm just like, oh bird videos and she's like, no, no, no. I don't even know what I'm supposed to be expecting. What can be in a movie that I would have to react to? But let's see. Here we go. So the first one is from Jack and Jill. Is this a movie? Yeah. Meg Han says it's a movie. With Alexander. Oh, it's a quick clip. So let's see this. Oh, you can eat. Don't throw it to me. I'm a chocolate bad. Don't throw it to me. I'm a chocolate bad. That's it. That's... I have seen a meme going around of that. I didn't know it was from a movie. I thought it wasn't real. No, I might have even just thought it was real. That's not a real bird. Why didn't no one tell me? Is this bird like prominent in this film? Because like I thought I watched every bird film. So I don't really like this kind of movie with like silliness, you know? So that's why I probably didn't watch it. But let's just say there's a small amount of accuracy here. I'm not saying it would ever happen. I think most birds would be scared of it and this wouldn't really happen. But the mentality behind it of a bird wanting something so bad like you know when you crack open a bag of chips and you're like this ain't healthy for you but I'm going to do it. Like that's what I get from this. Oh my God. I didn't even get to the part of like chocolate isn't good for birds. I'm just like the birds feathers would have been ruined. I don't even know like this thing's funny. I don't know if it's funny. You can do that too. But don't do that ever. But honestly we're never going to have that fountain thing in our house because we're just not that extra, you know? Let's see what else Meg Han has sent me. Flex. She does not specify it if this is a movie but I see this guy's face here. He's always in movies. You don't know who that is. I do know who it is. But I don't like him. He signifies to me silliness. I don't like silliness. Let's see what's going on. Wow. What an amazing apartment. Thank you dear. Sit down. We brought you this little housewarming gift. Oh, that's very kind of you. Thank you. I'll open it for you. I don't drink myself. It's a sin. I like her because she's Irish. Irish Catholics don't drink. She's funny. Pictures. Research. Over here. If I knew you were coming. If there's an accident. You were right. Brought you a little something to nibble on as well. His feathers are not in great conditions. How would they even put a bird in a movie with not that great feather conditions? That terrible chip. What? A bugle. The hell is a bugle? Looks like those corn chips. He's a McCaw. He's named after my late husband. McCaw is a parent. I've had Little Dick for 40 years. I like that. Okay. I never. Yeah. I'm not sure if they're going to snag me but first of all this bird is not in good condition. That's really accurate. You're trying to eat something and the bird wants a piece. What else is accurate about this is there's no way whatever that chip is, a bugle, that the bird wouldn't want to or be eating it too. That's accurate for those of you who don't understand that birds want to eat people food. Not that it's the healthiest thing to give the birds. honest bird behavior here, like in acting terms, the bird is living truthfully under imaginary circumstances. The bird is very miser. Oh, his feathers, not in such great condition, but other than that, very exciting to see a cute bird living in that scene the way I feel like a bird would really live. That, I don't think I've seen in movies a lot. Interesting note for those of you guys who might like to know this because when I found out, I was like, this is so amazing. So when you do a SAG film, which is the actor's union, you definitely want to have your movie be SAG, then obviously you are held to different standards. So if you have an animal in a SAG film, you have to make a phone call and then someone comes out and sits on set and like someone you don't even know and make sure that the animal is treated well and they become an advocate for the animal, even if it's like I make a movie and I submit that my bird is in it because I want it to be a SAG film, then someone will come out and like advocate for the bird and be like, no, it worked too much. Now it needs a break. Did it have food? And then like when I heard that, I almost cried. I'm like, oh my God. So when you see at the bottom of a movie, no animals were harmed, that is not just a fact. That is like kind of like a stamp of, yeah, we made sure that no animals were harmed and we had that like legitimate approval also. I think that's like an interesting fact for you guys. No, let's see the next one. My favorite movie. What are you doing? Leo. What, you can't watch. All right. There's nothing really to say about this. I think that the animated movies are so accurate with the way birds move. All the rest of the stuff is, you know, the story and all that is whatever it is. It's like, you know, fabricated clearly and you know, but they're just so cute. You guys, I don't know if you guys know, but Rio is based off of a semi-true story. So it's inspired by a true story of the Spix Macaws. This is my favorite thing about it. The Spix Macaws are pretty much extinct in the wild and definitely in the pet trade or the exotic bird trade. So it'd been a very long time for anyone saw a Spix Macaw and then there was a lady and she had what she knew to be a Spix Macaw and she called the pet store and she said, hey, I need some help. I have like a Spix Macaw and the bird store was like, no, you don't like, you probably like, what do you have? You have a blue Macaw, like you have a hyacinth. What do you have? And she was like, no, I have a Spix Macaw. And they're like, no way, that bird is extinct. So they sent somebody out or she brought it in and basically they were like, oh my God, you really do have one. And then it kind of propelled into, you know, them trying to find the bird of mate. And I don't know what happened in her personal story from there, but basically this whole movie is based off of that. And I just love this movie and not only that, but back when I met George, he had like those spiky hairs and like he would wear glasses like that. So when I went to see the movie in the theaters with my family and I'm a bookworm. So like I was like, we're watching it and my dad goes, oh, there's Marlene, like, you know, because there's like the bird in the bed and everything and like trying to get her attention and she's reading. And then when George shows up, oh, see, I believe it that hard. And then when the guy shows up, my dad's like, oh, there's Georgie. And then we have the same shoes. Like when she's at the carnival part, like these shoes that she wore are rare. Like I bought like five pairs of them just so I'd never run out of those heels and she wore them and so it was kind of insane. I'm all for this movie. Okay, so reading this comment, people are saying that they thought blue was physically incapable of flying. And then when he did fly, they were overcome with so much emotion. That's Hollywood for you. I love that. So let's go on to the next movie. I know this movie. This is the movie Pauline. When I was a kid, movies that I saw as a kid, I remember so well. Movies that I saw later on in life, like I could watch a movie yesterday and like, don't even remember it. It's really weird. And then like, like movies, you think that in the business I'm in, I should, but I just, it's like, there's no room. So I'm afraid to watch this because... Maybe it's the wrong house. It's always the wrong house. Holly. I'm sorry. We are in shock. Well, come back here. It's not Marie. It's not her. Oh my God, she's singing. That would be me and Pocotho. Oh, I thought it was going to be her daughter. Pack that she even leave him in the first place. Forgot that part. So let's go on a date, then. And you and you can be parents together. No, it's okay. You will have much to talk about. You and the bird will have a lot to talk about. Goodbye, Pocotho. Oh, no, he's leaving. Where are you going? No, no, leave. It's like, Nora and Marty and the two cemicals. I forgot where this takes place, but it seems like somewhere in South America, what a natural beauty she is. And Megan told me it's set in New Jersey. Again, New Jersey makes sense because I'm from New Jersey and I feel like this happened to me. They go and they live happily ever after in their cottage. That was, I'm going to kill you, Megan. Okay. Monty Python video. Hello, I wish to register a complaint. Hello, miss? What do you mean, miss? I had to make that big one, no, I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint. Oh, sorry, we're closing for lunch. Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot. What I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique. Oh yes, I've been Norwegian blue. Is that? I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. Is that bird moves? I'm going to freak out. That has got to get that bird like that. I know that parrot when I see one and I'm looking at one right now. No, that's not dead. So, resting. Resting? Yeah, resting. I hope that they made a fake bird and used that for this part. Enter into it. It's still dead. Now it's resting. All right then, if it's resting, I'll wake it up. I'll fish for you if you wake up, Mr. Polly Parrot. There he moved. No, he didn't. That was your first birthday. I didn't. I'm getting the cage. That bird better not be real, I know. Oh, that's fake. Okay, no. You're serious? There was no relevance to that. The parrot didn't even come alive to solidify a joke. It's so ridiculous. I don't even get it. I can at least admit that I didn't see the whole film so maybe I'm missing out. But I think we can overall sum up that parrots are not represented well in movies. Disappointing find that I learned to dig. Let me know, guys, if you want me to do another one of these, please suggest movies that you'd like me to do it for down below. I enjoyed this so much. I'm really excited about it, but not excited so much because I really think that birds are not portrayed well. I think the best movie was Polly because it's like too much. But it's like, yeah, the best movie was Polly. The bird in the movie Duplex was represented really accurately and how it is to live with birds. The bird wasn't in a cage. The bird was out. The old lady obviously practices in gauge, not cage. But the bird's feathers weren't in the best condition. And I think that as a movie director, maybe should be a little more educated on how to choose the birds for the film. But it might be hard due to the fact that maybe birds under those kind of conditions get a lot of stress. There's a lot of action on movie sets. There's a lot of waiting around. So this was a lot of fun for me. There was a lot of exciting things, a lot of atrocities. I think we all need to do better to represent birds in film. So any of you directors that are watching, writers, make sure that you do better. If you are watching, you probably already have birds and you probably already know. If you are watching, don't forget to cast me. My kids, I'm just kidding. My birds are outstanding actors. I really wanted to make a Polly sequel and the distributor of one of my films was like, you need to make a bird movie. Don't forget to watch Sniffer's, my movie. But there is one curse word in it. So if you have kids and you don't want to miss that, then don't do it. Don't forget to hashtag kick me Marlene on Instagram so I can showcase one of your birds. Stay tuned to see which one of you is showcased right now. Also let me know in the comments movies that you want me to review. This was so much fun for me. Maybe also share with me your opinions on the movies and stuff that like I didn't notice. Let Megan know in the comments that you loved this video idea. I love you guys so much. And also guys, don't forget to subscribe because when you subscribe, it means to me that we have people that really believe in the cause of Engage Not Caged and really believe in living with birds as your family members. And you just wouldn't like keep dogs in a kennel and make reason to believe that's okay. So let's just be better for our birds. And if you love this shirt, go check out other shirts like it because I believe this one's discontinued on www.hairstation.com where you can also get bird toys and lots of other exciting things like bird tea and also Marlene's signature blend for your birds. Rando has just been an angel through this video, not like Kodi who literally did my hair in the video. And that is why I love mustache break eats. I love you guys so much. Bye. Can I help you?
