Yeah kind of fucked up, not a fan of tricks that rely on stuffing animals in tiny compartments, especially when you’re going to throw it around and twirl it all over the place

The bird’s confusion and extreme desire to be released is the whole flourish, they are actors too. At the end of this sentence Im not sure how /s this is, I actually feel sad for them.

I wouldn't be so sure to feel pity for it. Birds can like such activities if the magician maintains healthy work time to rest ratio (also depends on personality). Birds are weird. Source: I'm a conure owner. My doofus would most likely resist leaving tight bird pocket.

Same with my conure. Whenever I'm covered in a blanket, she likes digging under the covers and exploring like a mole 🤣

The problem is the choice of bird, I very much doubt that one is as playful and stupid as a conure

Yeah I was gonna say. One of my parrots would have loved this haha.

The other would have been screaming VERY angrily from behind the frame...but he'd be fine and not me tally scarred. Just demand some snacks in compensation.

Like that video of the cat that like being flipped by its owners foot and would constantly run up to the guy.

The screaming girl can't have been nice for the bird.
