Three siblings, a pilot, university professor, and marijuana grow operator, come together every Christmas. As always, their elderly parents present to them their thoughts in a recorded message. 
But this year’s missive causes Frederick, Maria and Marcus to flinch, intense sentiments resurface. 
 
But before they can react, they are distracted by the sudden disappearance of the family’s talkative parrot, Pock. Who has stolen him? Fingers are pointed. Gypsies are blamed.
 
As the diversion subsides, their thoughts shift back to the recordings. 
 
The Pilot and the Parrot is a story about the power of the message, and messenger, to impact the emotions of recipients.
