The Life of Performing Parrots

Dave and Jamieleigh performed a two year long tour with Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus Gold Unit. They traveled by their own trucks and trailers (Dave drove a truck and pulled a trailer with the birds and props, Jamieleigh drove a truck pulling their RV) This footage is from the tour and specifically March 2010. At every venue Dave and Jamie would aim to get their first so they could fly in the empty, open arenas they would later be performing in! If the weather and location of the performance venue was safe enough, they would also get to free fly their birds on site in the lots they lived in each week. The tour moved every week around 1,200 miles around the USA. It started as Illuscination, then changed many names until it was Zing Zang Zoom for the second year. All birds were trained, owned, handled and moved by only Dave and Jamie the entire contract and such was the case with all the other animal acts - they were hired for their existing animal acts - there were no "ringling trainers" - everyone was hired as independent contractors.
