July 8 - Movie Night - Bill & Coo

This year CAFA is featuring one of the funniest bird movies ever made for our second annual Movie Night on July 8th. Bill & Coo, made in 1947, features a live cast of lovebirds, budgies, canaries, a crow, two owls, and assorted other wildlife in a hilarious tale of life in the small town in Chirpendale, USA. There is a tux shop where molting birds can rent “tails” for the night. Another shop sells Bald Eagle Feather Tonic. A statue to The Wrong Brothers, the first birds to walk, includes a couple of penguins. Power is supplied by Charlie the Chinchilla, who changes direction for alternating current. Ah yes, Chirpendale is a feathered utopia until evil descends (cue Ride of the Valkyries – I kid you not!). A crow known as the Black Menace swoops into town and starts wreaking havoc. Our boy Bill, from the wrong side of the tracks and fiance of the lovely Coo, comes to the rescue, but not until after we are treated to the Starling Brothers’ Circus! Come join your fellow CAFA members for this hilarious movie, popcorn, and other treats. You’ll never look at your parrots the same way again!
