Bird Marketing

When my bird first got obsessed with natural hair care products it was consequent of a late night infomercial I believe. If your bird talks and you have a TV, make sure to never leave the remote out for him to use. Particularly if he's an infomercial junkie. Now he's obsessed with shampoo. If you have any Dove product and you pull it out of the bag after shopping he goes,

• ARE YOU DAMAGING YOUR HAIR?

Yes Fred. I'm damaging my hair. And you're a bird. So I refuse to take hair advice from you. My friends have started calling him “NHC Bird” for “Natural Hair Care Bird”. It doesn't seem to bother him. Of course he is a bird and mostly enjoys barking when the cat is in the room and when the cat isn't, he meows. Not exactly the great intellectual of the household.

Of course if your bird keeps hassling you about your shampoo it's gonna start affecting you. This has to be the most effective marketing ever.

• YOUR HAIR LOOKS DAMAGED

Of course it does help that Natural Hair Care Bird only yells when he talks. So guess what? Now I'm buying natural hair care products. And taking the batteries out of the remote.
