My dad got my mom one of these because he didn't want to buy her a real bird. But it was so depressing I actually went out and got her a real one myself.

The entire family is sitting around, gushing about a plastic novelty toy.

Because people buy birds to have them sit there and chirp endlessly.

There is something really depressing about this product.

"This live parakeet can't even tell the difference!"

So parrots were technically the first people to get their job replaced by A.I.

0:50 Wow, that bungie is all like, "What the fuck is dis shit."

Well, I guess Perfect Polly Pet makes a good artificial decoration, but it never compares to having a real friendship with a real parrot with real love and not fake love.

the thing I find hilarious is not the actual product itself, but the stupid excuses they come up with to try to make you buy this instead of an actual bird lmao. Taking care of a real parakeet takes little to no effort.

"Watch as Polly's head moves back and forth, along with it's tail feathers!"

My mom bought this at a thrift store for two bucks as a gag gift for the dog to freak out at... it doesn't work (obviously) and it doesn't even look like that LOL.  "It's so amazingly life like!"... except the huge screws and speakers in it's chest that they photoshopped out on this infomercial.  

No muss - no fuss. When it stops working just throw it away. No backyard burial. Just right for kids with a short attention span.

0:49 I think the bird is just thinking GOD DAMN THIS THING IS ANNOYING!

Narrator: "even this live parakeet wont tell the difference.

Who else thought this was a joke commercial when it first came on?

"In fact, even this live parakeet can't tell the difference!" That was just a very dumb complaint. I agree with Saiyan Goodra, real parakeet be like "WTF?"

All movment activates it. The perfect thing for when you want to read a book! I don't see how this could go wrong in any way shape or form, of course.

These people clearly have no idea what having a real bird is like.
