A few years ago, a very special and beloved bird named Marnie celebrated his 5th birthday. Being the pampered parrot he is, Mom decided to throw him the best party ever.


Not only were there plates of waffles, festive candles, and unexpected animal guests, but Marnie also got a brand new plush toy — and his reaction is utterly adorable. Just wait until you see the way he kisses the bunny, then says “I love you!” We can all go home now; this is the cutest thing.

Marnie is a Blue Indian Ringneck Parrot. Mom describes him as “a natural charmer, a polite casanova who is not shy to ask for what he wants… which is often a kiss!” His love affair with stuffed bunnies began when he was just a baby.


Easter coincided with the day Marnie was adopted, and a friend gifted Mom with a little stuffed rabbit. Upon squeezing it, the toy would say, “Some bunny loves you!” This marked the beginning of what Mom and Dad would teach Marnie, and he hasn’t stopped talking since. The intelligent bird would watch his owners’ mouths as they spoke to him, and the rest was history!

Have you ever met a bird like Marnie before? He couldn’t be any sweeter if he tried. I just have one question: Can I come to your next birthday party? Please?!
