The Movie Rio<<<<

[amym]

I thought I would try it on ALex my African Grey Parrot.  And guess what he LOVED IT lol going to go buy the movie now.  He was coping all the bird sounds and trying to copy them.  I think its just not a good kid movie but a good parrot movie.  Had to share my experence with the movie and maybe you guys would have the same outcome with your parrots.

We all loved it at my house too.  I rented it last weekend and we watched it several times.  The only thing I'd say about it is that in one scene the McCaw is served hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies.  Not good to lead kids or uneducated non bird folks to think that Parrots or any animal can have chocolate.  That is my only complaint though.

I agree. When I watched it with my son, he then asked me if our parrots can have chocolate!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

they obviously didnt do much research before hand. it would easily mislead some people

Yep chocolate is a NO NO.  You can kill them.  But other then that it was a cute movie.  Haven't bought it yet but I do want it.

The kids and I were out and about yesterday and picked it up.  It was an adorable movie.  We laughed all the way through.
A new favorite here!
