How The Hell Did This CNN Reporter Not Ask This Guy About The Parrot On His Shoulder?

STUNNING VIDEO. STUNNING. ASK HIM ABOUT THE PARROT DUDE! DO IT! IT’S ON HIS SHOULDER! IT’S RIGHT THERE! ASK. HIM. ABOUT. THE. PARROT.

There’s a parrot on that guy’s shoulder, right? I’m not hallucinating, right? There’s super colorful bird just perched THERE, yes? Okay good. That’s maybe the most stunning news interview these eyes have ever seen. How did he not ask the guy about the parrot on his shoulder? Nobody cared about anything that guy had to say once the parrot came into frame. Yeah the guy is buying water and batteries and he’s not evacuating despite a massive hurricane heading right towards him blah blah blah. Ask the parrot a question dude! Parrots can talk! That’s the one animal that can talk and the interviewer didn’t take advantage of it. At least acknowledge the parrot! Everybody knows parrots can talk.

There was a stretch where I legitimately thought I was going crazy cause it seemed like the reporter didn’t even see the parrot. Nothing. Not one mention. He didn’t even gasp when the parrot started climbing down the guy’s arm using his beak. I gasped and I wasn’t there. A that point you have to interrupt the interview and be like, “Yo tell me about this fucking parrot.” Stunning. The fact that he mentioned the parrot AFTER the guy and the parrot walked away made me wanna puke. What a missed opportunity.
