ABC 7 News Story on Scottie
September 5, 2000

 

ABC Television Channel 7 News in Chicago requested to do a news story on Scottie arising from the frequent appearances and the popularly of this parrot in Chicago's northwest suburbs.

ABC-7 reporter Frank Mathie covered the story and conducted the interview.

Shown are still frames from the nearly 2-minute news story and interview showing Reporter Frank Mathie, Scottie, and Scottie's owner, Lou Chatroop.

One the more unusual tricks Scottie was trained to do, which caught the interest of ABC-7 News, was to remain perched upon a riding bicycle and not fly off.  This was discussed and demonstrated in the story as depicted in the last still frame below.
