The parrot can read/write and is sentient


||| FROM JUSTIN SOLAR for FRIDAY HARBOR FILM FESTIVAL |||


Parrot Kindergarten is a documentary about Jen, an attorney and cult survivor who heals by teaching her parrot, Ellie, to read.

Through groundbreaking research in interspecies communication, Jen redefines animal cognition and fosters deeper human-parrot connections. Her “Parrot Kindergarten” classes teach owners to enhance bonds with their feathered companions, improving lives on both sides.

This film reveals how communication transcends species, offering fresh insights into animal intelligence and the emotional fulfillment of cross-species relationships.

The parrot has been proven to be capable of intentional communication and this is the first significant finding in the field of animal communication science in decades! Hope we can do something here!
