Parrot Kindergarten

This beautiful and moving film will change not only the way you view parrots and other birds, but how you view all animals on the planet. Jen is an amazing force or nature and captivating to watch at every turn. Her relationship with Ellie is so profound and touching, we should all be as kind, intelligent and gentle when interacting with other living beings. The film will make you laugh and cry, it will make you lose faith in humanity and redeem your faith in humanity through Jen's thoughtful and unique gaze. We all want to know what challenge Jen will take on next! She is an inspiration to use all!

It all started with a quiet girl who grew up to be a world changer. Jen is the embodiment of kindness strength and love. She's also a lawyer, scientist, and mom to parrots who can read!

I smiled almost the entire time although I teared up a couple of times. The science itself is so exciting and try not to fall in love with sassy Ellie!

Watching history unfold on social media is one highlight of our era. Jen and her parrots will be remembered for this groundbreaking research and finding about animals minds and emotional intelligence. She persisted when faced with naysayers over and over and the science is becoming undeniable. Cognitive dissonance in humans minds will take more time.

It's just a great story! Go see it.

All of the emotions...this movie removes all doubt in my mind, scientifically, (if there were any left at this point) that we can communicate across species. Such an amazing story told here, with some of Jennifer's life and why she is so passionate about giving a voice to all beings. And then the science, so much of her research, and obvious love for all animals, especially Ellie. My whole family enjoyed it, including our parrot who knows firsthand what these communication methods can do. Thank you for a movie that left me feeling good, and hopeful - if you are an animal advocate of any kind, this movie is for you!.

I love this film! How can we do better for our pets? Can they tell us what they need? Can they tell us what they feel? What kind of evidence is needed before science accepts that we can communicate across species? Can a bird help heal our trauma? Can we help heal theirs?

This beautiful film addresses all these questions. I love the work Jen is doing with her birds and other animals. It is groundbreaking, fascinating and it touches an emotional chord that I didn't expect. If you love animals you already have a big heart. Watching this film will make it even bigger and it will make you a better pet parent.

I was gifted Jens parrot kindergarten program and was able to connect with my birds teaching them the tablet games and enriching their lives further.

I was quickly added to the amazing collection of people within the program, you only needed to ask them the authenticity of Jen and her work.

I was aware of some of Jens personal struggles but seeing them in colour before our eyes moved both myself and husband to tears, for her loss and the journey it took to find peace again. I'm so glad this film was made to show the world, they are not just a pet to be admired in a cage. Well done Ellie xx.x.
