Not Just Animals But Stars

Boon Narr is no Noah and he doesn't have an arc, but he does share his house with a mouse, dozens of dogs, a corral full of camels and a flock parrots.

He is a Hollywood trainer - animal trainer that is. In fact, if your favorite TV-show has a pet, there is a good chance the cuddly creature was transformed into an animal actor by Narr.

His latest project was to train parrots for their starring roles in a new film called Paulie.

Training his fine feathered friends took six months and loads of patience, but after seeing Paulie people may want to rush out and buy one of them.

In his job Narr said he has been asked some strange requests and stated that "People think just because it's written it can be done."

However, he admitted that nowadays thanks to computer generated effects any stunt is possible.
