These famous feathered performers have been featured on The Tonight Show, Pet Star, and The Ellen Show and even in the Guinness Book of World Records!
Ed and Julie Cardoza have been training and presenting their parrots since 1989. All of the birds are domesticly raised and not from the wild. Many of their feathered performers they got as babies but many others are rescued birds or adopted from others.
