Keeping Polly happy:

Polly  needs  attention  and 

stimulation to be happy.  Just like a 
real  parrot,  it  is  important  to  play 
with him and not forget to take care 
of  him.    Gently  stroking  his  back 

(Fig 7)

, talking to him, or clapping 

your  hands  will  meet  with  his 
approval.

Polly  loves  to  eat!    Remember 

to  feed  him  once  a  day  (or  more  if 
you  prefer).  Polly  always  likes  a 
snack during the day. In fact, he will 
actually  ask  you  to  feed  him  when 
he is hungry.  If he says "Polly wants 
a  cracker",  you  will  know  it’s  eatin’ 
time. By pressing the Cracker to his 
MOUTH  SENSOR  in  the  roof  of  his 
mouth 

(Fig  6),

  you’ll  hear 

crunching noises that indicate he’s 

5) Polly’s basic functions
Powering up Polly:

Turn  the  On/Off  switch  to  the 

ON position.  You will hear a "BEEP".  
Touch Polly on his Touch sensor on 
his  back  until  you  hear  a  "Cooo" 
sound. Polly is alive!

Polly will begin to sense want is 

going on around him automatically.  
If you yell his name or clap for him, 
he  may  squawk,  whistle,  or  say 
something clever. 

You  can  place  Polly    and  his 

Cracker  back  in  his  cage  for  safe 
keeping 

(Fig 5)

.  Polly will respond 

differently  when  in  his  cage.    He 
may seem a little anxious and a bit 
less  courteous.    He  will  also  ask 
you  to  let  him  out.    Polly  likes  the 
great outdoors outside his cage!
