Auditions for job as 'Parrot in Residence' at Legoland Windsor Resort Hotel, Berkshire, Britain - 12 Mar 2014

Auditions for job as 'Parrot in Residence' at Legoland Windsor Resort Hotel, Berkshire, Britain - 12 Mar 2014
Parrots are seen showing off their skills during auditions for a job as 'Parrot in Residence' at the Legoland Windsor Resort Hotel.
Four parrots were interviewed and asked to demonstrate skills such as making pirate noises, riding a scooter, playing with Lego and helping with room keys at reception.
To celebrate the launch of its new Pirate Shores area, the Legoland Windsor Resort called on parrot owners around the UK to nominate their plumed pets for the role.
Up for grabs was a vacant perch at the Resort's unique themed hotel where the winning bird will meet and greet guests during the Easter holidays, when Pirate Shores officially opens.
And it would appear that search is now over after the job was given to 32-year-old blue and gold macaw Charlie, who impressed judges with her impressive reception desk skills.
Charlie's owner Peter Bloom, 55, from Pickering, North Yorkshire, has had the bird for 30 years since he bought her in Scotland where she was hatched.
Legoland spokeswoman Lauren Moss said: "We were very impressed by all our candidates. In fact, they were all so gifted, picking the perfect parrot for the post was incredibly tough. The resort and this hotel is all about colour, fun, surprises and, of course, making children smile, which any one of these birds could do.
"But Charlie just had that extra touch of piratey mischief and we think she will fit right in when she takes up her special Lego parrot perch next month. She'll meet and greet guests here in our reception area and we know they will love her."

Performing Parrots Take A Bow
Julie and Ed Cardoza's brood is a talented bunch - capably doing everything from roller skating and skateboarding to bowling and basketball.
And if you were to call them featherbrained, well, they probably wouldn't take any offence.
For the couple from San Jose in California raise and train performing parrots.
According to the Cardozas, teaching their feathered friends tricks enriches their lives because they enjoy the attention and activity.
Parrots can become depressed and socially deprived if not given a lot of time and attention.
So, the Cardozas appeal to their birds' needs by teaching them both natural and trained behaviours.
One of their stars is Harlequin Macaw Zac, who was hatched in 1988 and hand fed from the age of 10 weeks by Ed and Julie.
Zac is a hybrid Macaw, the product of a Blue and Gold Macaw crossed with a Green Wing Macaw.
He is also a brainy bird with a wide repertoire of tricks, including riding a bike and scooter, skateboarding, raising a flag and rolling over.
In addition he speaks over 100 words/phrases.
In his time Zac has performed over 5,000 shows as well as appearing on the Tonight Show and Animal Planet's Pet Star.
According to Julie Zac loves all food but he can't be spoiled too much or he won't eat his vegetables.
Forrest is a Green Wing Macaw hatched in 1990 and raised by the Cardozas from the age of four months.
Easy going and friendly, his tricks include roller skating and playing the shell game
Forrest loves to go through the drive-thru and would always order a fruit parfait if only he could say the word.
Slender Billed Cockatoo Piper's species is native to Eastern Australia and are very rare in the United States.
Piper was hatched in 2006 and she has been raised by the Cardozas since she was thre...
