Mag Rack TV Launches 'Most Outrageous Bird Video Contest'
Did you know there’s a cockatoo that can not only sing “Jingle Bells,” but mimic Sinatra’s “My Way?” Then there’s Mr. URL, a scarlet macaw owned by a web executive who spews internet jargon like a CEO chasing an IPO. There are birds that quote raps by Eminem, dialogue from Schwarzenegger flicks and the speeches of J.F.K. And let’s not forget the avian athletes who ride bikes, pump iron and do gymnastics, or the righteously vain birds who use their perches as catwalks to parade!
All across America, there are pet birds with truly offbeat and outrageous talents — bird talkers, dancers, singers, models, athletes, even artistes who can paint. Now, thanks to the Mag Rack’s “The Pet Shop with Marc Morrone,” America’s most outrageous birds and their faithful owners are finally getting a forum to celebrate their boldest and most bizarre achievements. Mag Rack’s “Most Outrageous Bird” video submission contest invites bird-owners and -watchers to send in videos of our feathered friends doing amazing and outrageous things.
The best of these spirited avian feats will be posted on magrack.com/birds, where cyber-surfers can vote to move their favorite videos closer to winning the grand prize. These birds and their videographers will not only be in it for the glory, but financial rewards as well.
After the entry deadline of November 20, 2006, the public will be invited back to the website to cast their vote for the top 5 finalists.
The leading vote-getter will receive the “Pet Shop People’s Choice” prize and a $1,000 grand prize. And since this is a contest all about “star-quality,” Mag Rack is also lining up a celebrity judging panel to award a second $1,000 “Celebrities Choice” prize to one of the top five birds.
To enter, bird lovers can send video on disc or tape to Mag Rack’s Most Outrageous Bird Search, c/o Mag Rack, 11 Penn Plaza, 17th Floor, New York, NY 10001. Full contest details and the best entries will be posted at http://www.magrack.com/birds.
