Echo of Animal Gardens

This time my amazing talent is not a human. It's a bird but it's a special bird. Echo can talk like a human and even sing. I saw him last night in America's Got Talent and I just had to put him in my blog because it was so funny but great. Not only human have talents how you can see.. or hear;) This is probably the smartest bird in the world I would say. When they got on the stage I didn't think that he would actually talk but they surprised me and lots of other people, too. I mean, how can a bird talk and sing and imitate other animals? It's crazy and unbelievable and it makes me wanna get a bird like that, too so I can teach him stuff. That would be so much fun. If you haven't watched America's Got Talent last night then you should watch this video. I promise that it's entertaining and you're gonna love this bird: http://americasgottalent2010.com/americas-got-talent-season-6-echo-of-animal-gardens-audition.html


Wisconsin State Journal aricle :

Walworth County petting zoo parrot to appear on 'America's Got Talent'

Waukesha native Susan Hawk's fame came through "Survivor." For Danny Gokey of Milwaukee, it was "American Idol."
Echo, a 15-year-old double yellow-headed Amazon parrot from Delavan may get his big break on "America's Got Talent."
The bird and his trainer, Sarah Hoeft, will perform Wednesday at 8 p.m. on the NBC reality television show that features jugglers, singers, acrobats and others with usual and unusual talents.
Echo, who performs daily with Hoeft at Animal Gardens, a 40-acre animal theme park in Walworth County, is scheduled to talk with Hoeft and sing one of the four songs it knows: "Happy Birthday," "Jingle Bells," "Old McDonald" or "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
"They're just very (talkative) but singing is his forte" park spokeswoman Kim McDarison said of Echo. "He's very humanistic."
Echo is one of seven birds that perform at the park but is the most vocal, with a 50-word vocabulary, McDarison said. If the duo gets the nod from celebrity judges Sharon Osbourne, Howie Mandel and Piers Morgan, they would next perform later this summer in Las Vegas.
