Paulie

The film is a picaresque tale about a blue-crowned conure who humans can understand named Paulie (voice of Jay Mohr), and his long quest to return to his owner. Misha Vilyenkov (Tony Shalhoub), a Russian immigrant and former teacher of literature, lives in America and works as a janitor at an institute. He encounters Paulie there and is shocked to see him speaking as clearly as a human. Subsequently, he doesn't speak a word when Misha brings others to witness him.
