Polly  the  Tekno  Parrot 

Operating Manual

Polly is an authentic robot that does everything a real 

Parrot  can  do…and  more!  He  can  "squawk",  talk,  flap 
his  wings,  and  display  a  wide  range  of  emotions.  With 
your help, he can even be taught new words to say!

Thanks  to  his  artificial  intelligence  program  (and  a 

few well chosen words!), Polly will let you know how he 
is feeling and provide feedback on the care you provide.  
Polly knows how long it’s been since he’s been fed and 
is  quick  to  remind  you  when  he  is  need  of  some 
attention.  Polly likes to be taken out of his cage.  If he is 
left in too long, he may even catch a cold!

Polly has state-of-the-art sensors that allow him to 

"see" and "hear" and even "feel" your touch. With these 
sensors and Polly’s powerful computer brain, Polly can 
to determine many things.  He can tell if it is getting dark, 
if the lights in the house suddenly turn on, if someone’s 
talking to him, if someone is walking past him, if there is 
a loud noise (like a knock at the door), and even if you’re 

petting him on his back!  

Polly  will  show  his  emotional  state  by  the  color  of 

his eyes.  If he is excited or scared, Polly’s eyes will turn 
Red. If he is happy and healthy, his eyes will be Green. 

Polly has an extensive vocabulary.  By playing with 

him over a long period of time, you will hear more and 
more phrases and words that Polly knows how to say.  
The more you play with him, the more surprising things 
he will say.  He really speaks his mind!

Just like real parrots, Polly has the amazing ability to 

mimic  any  sound  or  person  and  use  it  as  part  of  his 
vocabulary.    He  can  either  be  taught  to  repeat  it  back 
immediately  or  to  use  it  in  his  everyday  speech.      In 
short,  Polly  is  programmed  to  respond  just  like  a  real 
bird!
