Barbara Heidenreich with Groucho the Singing Parrot on the Tonight Show

I was on the Tonight Show in 2000 with Groucho, the singing parrot. There was a writer’s strike, and animals became frequent guests for talk shows. He was a companion parrot that was donated to the company I was working for at the time. Groucho sings seven songs. He came to the company already singing the songs. While there, some of them were put on cue, and he learned to sing in new environments, like on TV. He was selective about who he would train with, and I was one of the trainers he liked. He is the third parrot, so watch the whole thing! Unfortunately, the audio has a few issues I can't fix.
I have my own parrot who talks and sings. I trained him using information you can find here on my channel.

Does he make me look good? Maybe...but I think what he really does is help people see how amazing parrots are. Which I think is an important goal. Helping people love parrots is the first step in getting them to care about their welfare and status in the wild.

This video clip is from 2000 when I was an employee of the company mentioned. I was one of several trainers who worked with groucho on a daily basis doing conservation education presentations primarily in zoos. So nope....he was not borrowed : ) I am not sure I understand the comment about being paid....we were not paid for the appearance.

I use to take my blue front in the shower with me..he LOVED it!!! It cuts down on the smell also..If you are not able to handle him yet they have shower perches with suction cups..just transfer him that way...or even a spray bottle thats never had anything in it would work too.

Barbara: I was hoping to access your web site, but it wouldn't go through for me.---I had a teacher, in North Dakota 1958, named Heidenreich, and wondered how common that name is. She eventually married and moved to, Maine I think. I don't have more information than that. ---It was a joy to see your name in this amazing clip!

Big fan of all of you and your birds. You've inspired me to work with Barbosa, my Miligold Macaw, to see if he can sing anything. Being a Macaw, he isn't a huge talker, but he doesn't whistle either, so perhaps he could learn a tune or two! Maybe a little Lady Gaga?!
