PAULIE
I SAW THIS 1998 film (that I would have assumed was by Disney but actually it was Dreamworks) on BBC1 this morning. So entertaining:
A trotterdonkey green parrot flies all the way to Los Angeles looking for his long lost owner, finds self in a parrot donkey derby along the way, then finally comes home (coooooo!!)
Apparently Paulie is a "blue crowned conure" by the way, technically not a parrot, if you look at the lorikeet-like bill...
Paulie Trailer:
Taco Stall Musical Performance
PS: The proper name for a Parrot is POLLY. "Paulie" is pronounced with a long O ~ quite a different sound. How on earth Dreamworks managed to mix this up is beyond me... It caused me a LOT of difficulty Googling, that's all I say...
And talking of entertainers, here's a hyacinth macaw talking... look at that fearsome beak! They can apparently crack coconuts unassisted!

Polly is a girl's name Paulie is a boy's name - both sound the same here. Yes, Polly want a cracker is traditional but they wanted a boy.
Sometimes you're such a goofball! He looks like what we'd call a 'lovebird' because they like to stay in pairs. As do most parrots, most pair for life. The macaws are amazing though. My daughter was so excited to see them in the wild in South America.
We have sun conures here...not where I live. I think they're further north.
I was at the vet's a few years ago and a guy came in with a macaw on his shoulder. The colours were absolutely glorious. There's no way we could get that beautiful blue, only nature can do that.
That movie looks amusing. You sure can pick 'em..LOL
I always wanted a huge parrot for a pet but after you said they've been known to crack open coconuts I'm somewhat relieved I never got that wish!
Parrots are so colourful and some of them are huge!
Dear Gleddy,
I dislike birds itensely because the shit all over everything and they bite.
I also do NOT like snakes.
Hope you had a good holiday. SB loves you.
Happy New Year!
Great photos. I have not ever wanted a bird as a pet. But I appreciate their uniqueness and beauty and those large beaks.

Hi Gleds ~~ I have caught up reading your blogs. I was surprised to see so much snow in London. And all your videos are good. I like Leona Lewis
very much, such a beautiful voice.
Thanks for your comments and good wishes. Michelle has long blonde hair and no, we don't look alike as her father, my son is adopted. I love them all and it makes no difference.
Just spent a lovely week with my youngest daughter, also adopted, who has 5 children aged 11 to 22.
