    My dad got my mom one of these because he didn't want to buy her a real bird. But it was so depressing I actually went out and got her a real one myself.

      @@LaceNWhisky Well, they interact with you. cuddle, talk, play.
      The larger parrots talk alot too. Asks for water then tells you to fuck off before requsting cuddle and shitting on the floor. They can be awesome. Id rather have a picture of a parrot than this cashgrab plastic demon-thing.

  • @KrystalLake
    @KrystalLake 10 років тому +16

    Even more scary was the fact that there were *_two_* of these out at the same time. The other one let you record 15 seconds of sound on it. The commercial for that one showcased an old lady who used the bird to record passive-aggressive messages reminding her husband to do his chores.

    Seriously though, this thing has NO soul.
    Soulless 'pet', for soulless/lazy people with no love to give to a real cute and cuddly budgie who will love you in turn if you treat them well and make sure they are happy and NOT wish they came with a 'control' switch. Oh, and did I mention they actually have a SOUL?

    This was one of the strangest television experiences I've ever had, because I kept WAITING for the guy to come on and say it was fake.

He can sit on my shoulder while I drive. No pets, no problem with Polly. I can't wait! Everyone will be so jealous. Everyone will want to borrow him. I certainly won't let them! If it works out, I could get another one, a blue one this time.

    +++++ I bought this to hopefully entertain my cat. The pins on the perch do not line up with the holes in the feet, the chirping is not very loud, it works for about 15 seconds then you have to flip the on/off switch back and fourth to get it to work again.
    The body is built pretty solid....that's the only good thing I can say about it
