I have been seeing some more birds on ads lately. Remember the Lovebirds that where on the Telus/phone ads?

Now there's another newer ad with a GW Macaw.
& the B&G Macaw in Pirates of the Caribbean. Movie.

Here's the Budgie that goes to Siberia - thanks to the cat = YouTube - Clever and Funny Australian DHL Commercial: Cat vs. Bird #1

Is this a Jay or a King fisher? - stealing a running shoe? = YouTube - PUMA commercial advertisement - bird

The guy from 1 of those soap opera's has at least 4 birds. RB2, Eclectus, I think a grey & a Senegal. He plays Sonny Corinthios on an ABC soap. (I am totally blanking on his name - sorry.)

Nicolas Cage actually wanted our Hy from her breeder, but the breeder wanted her to go to a forever home with experienced bird owners so didn't sell to him. Poor Bubbles isn't a celebrity because of it! Me happy though!
