The Return of the Prodigal Parrot (Part 2)

Animated series about the adventures of a parrot Kesha, "the hero of our time." The action is concentrated in the city and its surroundings. Kesh lives in the apartment of Vova, a schoolchild, but because of his hot-tempered, arrogant character, he periodically runs away and gets into trouble, eventually returning to Vovka with a confession. The humor of the series is based on the eccentric behavior of Keshi, on recognizable realities, as well as on the multiple quotations used by the parrot.

The fat red Cat goes with his owners to their country house. Kesha complains that, unlike the others, he has to stay in the city because Vovka is sick. Not wanting to wait for his owner to recover, the parrot goes on vacation by himself.

Parrot Kesha is watching TV but, feeling offended, turns it off because movies are made about various animals — but not about him. Then Vovka suggests filming a movie with a video camera, which Kesha names “Dawn of Kesha the Parrot.”
