Venezuelan Jungle Parrot (Sid) - with his "ventriloquist" (the FULL SHOW)

Sid, the Venezuelan Jungle Parrot and his "ventriloquist" handler Trevor James appeared on British TV. Who can tell us the name of the show and the approximate date?
[Thanks to my pal Paul Calver in Croydon (Shirley) England for the vid!]

[@jeffreybird6202]

I watch this every 3 or 4 months, always puts a smile on my face.

[@dragonk849]

Such a shame we don't have this anymore on tv,world would benefit from it,more laughter.....

[@sidscrote4378]

Tears in my eyes AGAIN! I've watched this hundreds of times, and I still laugh. to me its the gormless expression on Sid's face.Classic!

[@pauladams1915]

This is so funny. I wish there were more acts like this still around

[@Robard65]

"Absolutely no fear of heights". Until it looked down from his arm. Hilarious. 😂😂😂

[@trevorjames2873]

Me and Sid are both still alive and are happily living in retirement in the countryside. He looks great, I've put on weight and gone bald. Trevor James.

[@BandBoxParade]

Tell us more, master Trevor!

[@brandelynmarie]

Trevor James :Has Sid picked up any other songs or other drinking habits?🙄

[@tonysuffolk]

I can't believe I've never seen this great act before. So glad to hear that you and Sid are enjoying retirement. I'm curious to know if you ever take Sid out for the occasional performance. I wish you both good health.

[@annorme4314]

Loved every moment of your act and wish you and Sid all the best.xxxxxxxxxxx

[@andyhowlett2231]

Trevor! OH dear God! This is my old friend Trevor James in a performance I missed at the time and I've been trying to find it ever since. I first met Trevor when he joined our land-based pirate radio station (Radio Aquarius 1972 to 1975), and his shows were always very amusing. When the station broke up, we lost contact but occasionally our paths crossed and it was obvious that he was heading for some kind of fame. Trevor, I had heard that you were not too well, let's hope that's not true.

[@alishanmao]

Loved the way he coordinates his hands to show parrots emotions and feelings.

[@zahrabradley8898]

Fun fact. The guy who holds the parrot lives next door to my grandad and he’s my family’s close friend and comes up to my house all the time

[@LordTwaddle]

I love how comically bad it's meant to be, makes it funnier to me

[@starshine428]

I have watched a LOT of ventriloquist acts on tv and KZbin but this is the funniest one EVER! I'm STILL laughing!

[@Auras19]

true!

[@mrpuppettexas]

this is the funniest act I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of vent acts, I can'tstop watching it, great manipulation, great character, just great, wow, this is soooo funny, thanks for sharing

[@kennethgreen2829]

If ever I need cheering with a good laugh Trevor James I just watch this and I laugh out loud, god bless you and Sid.

[@StarboyXL9]

"Sid is going to show you his prowess as a fire-eater" The bird: *excuse me what the fuq*

[@josephwright8049]

This is comedy gold couldn't stop laughing and crying with how funny it is thank you

[@SloppyballsMcGuillicutty]

pulling of the short and curlies had me rollin!!!

[@BandBoxParade]

Greatness is not always recognized when it first occurs. Hopefully, Trevor James is well and enjoying his fame here on You Tube.

[@angushight7084]

I love visual comedy. Well done. Laughed till I cried. Brilliant.

[@jayburt4137]

It was Trevor James and Sid the parrot. Cheers for the upload.

[@DanvsMedius]

Absolutely wonderful!

[@NextLevelEntertainment]

Genius, little to no speaking from the puppet, yet I laughed a lot, well done indeed!

[@JPumpkinKing]

That was HILARIOUS! It's rare that something makes me laugh out loud that much!

[@tapolna]

I never laughed so much while watching a KZbin video as when I saw Sid attempt to sing while Trevor sipping beer.

[@gustavahaussleriii8261]

There have been several occasions in my life where I have finished a book and re-read it again completely. This is the first time in my life I just had to watch a comedy video again. It is that good!

[@jodyjay8354]

The best act I've seen in a long time.

[@iamadrianama]

The things you find on youtube. So much fun to learn about my country's birds from a British comedy show, hahahahahaha... This is so funny. Thanks for uploading.

[@ventriloquistrusslewisruss8147]

Classic and absolutely funny...till it devolves utterly into a struggling ventriloquial spoof. Reminds me of Albert Brooks classic take on the totally inept ventriloquist act. Here, the craft of the comic artist remains always in subtext. Wonderful! The audience perceives the 'incongruity' between what the 'professor' says and what the character actually feels. Thanks for posting.

[@grahamschofield8730]

Fantastically performed...so funny...😂😂😂..thank you

[@brucemvoYT]

Nicely done, Mr. James! Very funny bit. 'thank you, young man...'

[@steveryan5212]

I used to pee my self of laughing you were absolutely brilliant

[@musicalfool]

Brilliant! The seperation that he has from it is great!

[@cberry9284]

never seen some one with a bird so funny in a long time //the idea is a great one that if he gos round the uk showing this act he could make all the young ones laugh and think the birds real very well done young MAN

[@Vegas_small_timer]

I love this act. So simple yet so effective. The reaction of shock from the bird when Trevor starts talking. I actually cry with laughter when I watch this. Nice little surprise when the bird shits too.

[@Expat47]

Funny, funny stuff!!!! Thanks Sid & Trevor.

[@graysonscolumn]

The ventriloquist is Trevor James (as announced by Des O'Connor a few seconds into the clip). Trevor appeared with Sid during much of the final series of legendary anarchic UK kids' TV show Tiswas in 1981-2. This clip must have been the thick end of a decade later. gc

[@SadBaby]

Professor Trevor James & the Venezuelan Jungle Parrot on the Royal Variety Show.

[@lescox8667]

A great original act, some have tried to copy the idea but none did this as well as Trevor. A true showman.

[@cberry9284]

happy to hear your alive and sid your both 5 stars in my world

[@chrisgolfer7528]

The Venezuelan diet. Starve and lose 10 pounds. Watch out Sid! Thanks for a unique act, I never watched that before!

[@EGeraldhuebner]

and later, Michael Paul steal his number with his Bird of Prey

[@jiipee7491]

And stolen by... HOW? Totally different acts (both great by the way) If someone had number two before other, that is stealing?! OK... What you do every single day? You stole my act! This is brilliant, and needed much more on tv. There is absolute 99% of bull crap only today. Now i go watch bird of prey once again.
