Irena and Snowball(R) on WGN-TV News

Parrots are loud, destructive, and very high maintenance. If you are interested in taking on the massive responsibilities of caring for a parrot, please adopt as there are many homeless birds in need of loving homes.

Pam Grimes, producer of this WGN segment, just notified us that this particular segment with Snowball has been nominated for an Emmy! Best of luck to Pam and the entire WGN crew. Snowball is keeping his talons crossed! Irena Schulz

Thank you Bird Lovers Only for posting this footage "Irena and Snowball(R) on WGN-TV News." It was very exciting seeing you Irena & Snowball! The segment was very educational. I don't think that many people think about birds having a similar homeless crisis like human beings. Bravo to celebrity Snowball & his purposeful life! Yes, it would be wonderful to be able to have Snowball and the many members in his family be free but as you said Irena it is not possible. Keep up the great work Irena!

So cute!!!!!!

@niloviegas I completely agree. Birds were meant to be in the skies, not in cages in our homes. Poaching in other countries will continue as long as there is a demand to have these birds as pets. If the demand is no longer there, the supply won't be there either. Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only

Believe it or not, but I am from the netherlands and have my own Snowball Cackatoe. And he do the dancing and talking to, but special the music and dance. This Week I will put a video on youtube to show you ;) His name is Duco by the way;)

[@TorontoDrivingVideos]

you must have got a lot of flack from breeders and other people on your stance about captive birds. I'm with you though and thanks for speaking out about it!

[@Tnem56]

@niloviegas I think you'd be surprised to find though that these kinds of birds love attention and love being petted.

Hi Snowball ! Hi Irena ! Gumnut says hello !

[@babyfacejudy]

Have you tried the song, "She Drives Me Crazy" by the Fine Young Cannibals? It's got the kind of rhythm that Snowball would just love. If you try it, and he likes it, please record his dance and let me know. Thanks.

Hi Irene & Snowball & Gang from robm & Freckles.

[@niloviegas]

I do not know how someone has the courage to hold an animal in a cage. I am against any kind of domesticated animal!

[@BirdLoversOnly]

@birdbrainz2 Hi Gumnut! Thanks for dropping by to say hello! I'll have to do the same! :D Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only
