I know many nature documentaries always have relied, in part, on staging events for their cameras – but Parrot Confidential is the first time I’ve ever seen recreations that involved humans as well, with parrot-owner interviewees telling stories of their past interacts with their birds, which simultaneously are “acted out.” That’s ridiculous – but other parts of this hour, the real ones, are unexpectedly, effectively touching, as when we watch one rescued bird warm to another, or watch one young parrot, raised from a chick in temporary captivity, emerge tentatively from its outdoor cage to take its first flight to freedom. In all these stories, though, there’s one very subjective message: owning these birds is more problematic, and more of a commitment, than most people suspect. Check local listings.
