Episode Overview

This unique bonus episode departs from CrimeLess’s usual deep dives into wild and outrageous crimes. Instead, hosts Rory and Josh, alongside producer Lane, present an extended, surprisingly hilarious and heartfelt interview with their first-ever non-human guest: Shamrock, a yellow-naped Amazon parrot, and her handler Andrew from the Greater Chicago Caged Bird Society and Rescue. Listeners are treated to stories about Shamrock's past, insights into the world of long-lived birds, and the quirks and challenges of bird rescue—all tied together by the hosts' trademark humor and genuine curiosity.

---

Key Discussion Points

1. How Shamrock Came to the Show

[02:30 - 05:05]

• Producer Lane explains the improbable, quasi-accidental way Shamrock was booked: a social media posting involving AEW wrestler Kris Statlander at the bird rescue (03:32).
• The introduction to Andrew, a volunteer with the rescue, who brought Shamrock on-air.

Quote:

"A little bit of luck, a little bit of algorithm. All heart." — Lane (04:24)

2. Parrot Lifespans & Bird Rescue

[05:09 - 06:33]

• Parrots, especially yellow-naped Amazons like Shamrock, can live up to 70-80 years, frequently outliving their owners.
• Bird rescues exist not just for abandoned birds but also for those whose owners pass away.

Quote:

“I totally understand why there's a rescue, because these birds must outlive their Owners all the time..." — Lane (05:09)

3. Shamrock’s Backstory & Quirks

[05:30 - 09:52]

• Shamrock was previously owned by an older woman and her adult son, Ryan—her mimicry includes “performing one side of a phone conversation.”
• Parrots like Shamrock can pick up and repeat human phrases, providing glimpses into their previous homes.

Memorable Moment:

• Shamrock shouting “Ryan!” in an old lady’s voice at night to get attention.
  [12:50 - 13:10]

4. Shamrock Goes Live—Parrot on Mic

[07:03 - 15:37]

• The hosts and Andrew encourage Shamrock to speak and interact with various sound cues and attempts at conversation.
• Shamrock offers classic parrot responses like “hello” and even reportedly mutters “asshole” at Rory (14:35).
• The hosts note Shamrock’s vibrant plumage, expressive eyes, and surprising presence—described as “wildly vibrant green and yellow... the eyes, the pupils keep expanding and dilating...” (08:57).

Quote:

“When a parrot is kind of upside down, you interpret their facial features differently and they look so alien.” — Spinquest Commentator (09:35)

5. Parrot Mimicry and Behavior

[13:21 - 14:11]

• Andrew shares that parrots' mimicking abilities often mean they recall their owners' voices and mannerisms.
• Shamrock sometimes gives the impression she’s having a conversation, repeating just what she’s absorbed.

6. Fun, Lighter Moments

[09:50 - 11:49]

• Playful suggestions of teaching Shamrock criminal skills, like counting drug money or reading credits.
• Amusing reflections on how tortoises—as compared to parrots—would fare as podcast guests.

Quote:

"We just got to teach her to count drug money." — Lane (14:11)
"Or read the credits, you know." — Podcast Host (14:17)

7. Bird Safety Tips & Fun Facts

[15:02 - 15:19]

• Andrew points out the dangers of scented candles and oils for pet birds; their respiratory systems are sensitive.

Quote:

"If you have a bird, you should not have those things [scented candles, oils].” — Andrew (15:10)

8. Inside Greater Chicago Caged Bird Society & Rescue

[15:37 - 16:32]

• The rescue has been active since the 1930s; shelter operations began in 2012.
• Entirely volunteer-run, housing over 100 birds at a time with about three adoptions a month.

9. Shamrock as a Companion

[16:40 - 17:42]

• Parrot ownership is a decades-long commitment.
• At 26, Shamrock is still considered young for her species, with decades ahead.
• The rescue often receives older birds whose lifespan exceeds their previous owner’s abilities or years.

Quote:

“Like, I'm in my 30s, and I would not buy a new baby Amazon, because it would outlive me by a lot.” — Andrew (16:49)

Advice for Potential Owners:

• “Unless you’re a child, you should get a gently used bird and not a new bird.” — Lane (17:54)

10. Bird Bonding and Personality

[18:16 - 18:38]

• Parrots often form deep bonds with one person in a household.
• Andrew describes Shamrock “preening” his hand to show affection, highlighting bird-human attachments.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Shamrock's Sass:

  “Did Shimmer just say asshole?” — Spinquest Commentator (14:35)
  “Yeah.” — Andrew (14:45)

• Parrot’s Unique Talents:

  "Sometimes if you say, she said no." — Lane (13:47)

• On responsibility:

  "Birds like these are definitely a long term commitment." — Andrew (16:49)

• Candles & Birds:

  "If you have a bird, you should not have those things.” — Andrew (15:10)

Final Thoughts: The Parrot as Podcast Star

Shamrock earns the unexpected title of CrimeLess’s “only guest ever”—providing an oddly touching, comedic break from true crime.

Campsite media.

[Lane (Producer)]

The. Hey there, everybody. Welcome to the third, I guess, bonus episode of Crimeless. Very special this week because, as you heard, if you listened to this week's episode, we had our first ever guest. That guest was a bird. That bird was a parrot. And we unfortunately had to edit it down. And we felt like for the small fraction of you that need to hear more from that parrot, Shamrock, we're gonna release the tapes. I was about to say unedited. It's still gonna be edited. The extended version of our interview with Shamrock. And so I wanted to chat briefly with producer Lane to learn a little bit more about how we found this bird. So, Lane, how did we find this bird?

[Podcast Host]

At first I was like, do I know any birds personally? And I don't know any birds. I don't know anyone who owns a bird. And without giving it away to you guys, I couldn't ask the greater campside universe. So my husband's a pro wrestling fan, and an AEW wrestler named Kris Statlander was in Chicago, and she, like, just went by the Greater Chicago Caged Bird Society, and they posted on their Instagram, and because of the algorithm, we got a photo of Kris Statlander with a bird at this rescue. And I was like, I'll just send them an email, see if they're available. Turns out they were. And Andrew, the handler, the bird handler, was very game to come on and share Shamrock with us.

[Lane (Producer)]

That was a very scientific process you just described. Yeah, it was a little bit of luck, a little bit of algorithm.

[Podcast Host]

All heart.

[Lane (Producer)]

All heart, exactly. Mostly heart, I would say. And I feel like especially well timed. Although you didn't plan this. Once again, luck playing in our favor a little bit here. This interview with Shamrock is actually being released on the week of St. Patrick's Day. And so what kind of bird did. What is Shamrock again?

[Podcast Host]

She's a yellow naped Amazon.

[Lane (Producer)]

So, Andrew, tell us about her handler. Andrew?

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, his name's Andrew Earnrider. He's a volunteer from the Greater Chicago Cage Bird Society and Rescue. He and his partner have been volunteering there for a while, for a couple years. And they sometimes foster birds, and Shamrock was one of their fosters. A fun update. Shamrock was adopted.

[Lane (Producer)]

Oh, great. So Shamrock has a home, A permanent home.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lane (Producer)]

I did know that parrots live a long time, but we learned that this species can live to be 70, actually more than almost any other. Maybe any other pet species. I totally understand why there's a rescue, because these birds must outlive their Owners all the time. So you have end up with birds that don't have a place to live because their owners die, right?

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, they outlive them. I think Andrew said that Shamrock came from a home like an old woman who lived with her adult son. And so Shamrock will often perform one side of a phone conversation. She'll say, ryan, which I think was the former owner's son. So if there's Orion listening, Shermach's in

[Lane (Producer)]

good hands now and is becoming a star. Is becoming a star right before our eyes. But this is a podcast right before our ears. In all seriousness, it's a great cause. Like I said, I did not know that this was a problem, but it makes total sense that there's probably a lot of birds in America, and not just in America, around the world, that need homes because their owners died. Because these birds live a long time. This must also happen with, like, Galapagos, giant turtles. Tortoises.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, probably less so. I don't. I don't know any tortoises. Do you?

[Lane (Producer)]

I do know one person that has. I don't know if it's a Galapagos tortoise, but it's a. It's a tortoise. And I have to imagine in that community this is also an issue. I also imagine that they are much less good on podcasts.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, less vocal, for sure. More of a silent, silent guest.

[Lane (Producer)]

Chomp on lettuce.

[Podcast Host]

Yawn, perhaps.

[Lane (Producer)]

All right, without further ado, here is our extended conversation with Shamrock, the beautiful parrot that I've already forgotten what species it was.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Lame.

[Podcast Host]

A yellow Nate's Amazon.

[Lane (Producer)]

Yellow naped Amazon. All right, Shamrock, take it away.

[Podcast Host]

She's. She's texting me now. Or her assistant's texting me now.

[Lane (Producer)]

It's definitely a parrot. Or it's an animal of some kind, obviously. But what other animal could possibly participate in a game? That's what I would like to know.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

I guess fish. We now know fish can beat games.

[Podcast Host]

There she is.

[Lane (Producer)]

Rory, look.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Oh, no.

[Podcast Host]

This is Shamrock.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Shamrock.

[Podcast Host]

Hello.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Hello.

[Lane (Producer)]

Okay.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, Shamrock. Shamrock's my neighbor. She lives in Chicago.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Hi, Shamrock.

[Lane (Producer)]

Oh.

[Podcast Host]

Oh, yeah. That's a really good point. Shamrock.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Shamrock, is there anything you want to. You want to ask us when you said Q and A Lane, are we asking Shamrock or Shamrock asking us?

[Podcast Host]

Either way, if you have some questions for her. She knows a lot about parrots.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Oh, Shamrock, do you feel if you were ever going to participate in a criminal activity, you would be on the side of the criminal or on the side of justice? That's What? I thought. I thought you'd give me sort of a velociraptor style response.

[Podcast Host]

Josh, do you have any questions for Shamrock?

[Lane (Producer)]

Shamrock, what kind of bird are you?

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

What if just in a crystal clear voice, Shamrock was like, rory, I don't care for your stand up, and I have to live with that,

[Lane (Producer)]

Rory. I'm more of a Dane cook parrot.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

I like Dane.

[Podcast Host]

Oh, all right.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Have you heard my stuff? You might like it.

[Lane (Producer)]

So, Rory, you want to describe Shamrock to the people who don't have video.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

So everyone who doesn't have video, you're missing out on a wildly vibrant green and yellow, really beautiful. I see where Shamrock comes from. Beautiful parrot. The eyes, the pupils keep expanding and dilating and whatever the opposite of dilating is. Closing, I guess. And I also like that this owner provides Shamrock with a great deal of freedom. There's not a lot of birds you see on top of the cage, but Shamrock has earned this freedom. I can tell.

[Lane (Producer)]

Can Shamrock. Shamrock, can you do a voice for us?

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

What is your name? What is your name? I gotta say, when a. When a parrot is kind of upside down, you interpret their facial features differently and they look so alien.

[Lane (Producer)]

Yeah, it's true.

[Podcast Host]

Shamrock's really engaged in this, though.

[Lane (Producer)]

Shamrock, A lot of eye contact.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

20 words or less. What are your feelings on Burning Man?

[Podcast Host]

Nope. So Shamrock's a yellow named Amazon parrot. Oh, okay. And holding the phone is her assistant, Andrew.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Thank you, Andrew.

[Podcast Host]

Andrew's a volunteer from the Greater Chicago Cage Bird Rescue.

[Lane (Producer)]

I feel like he's saying something to us.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

What if it told us, like, the. The year that Earth is going to explode? We're like, oh, my God. Shamrock. Shamrock. Who told you?

[Lane (Producer)]

His ancestors, the dinosaurs.

[Podcast Host]

I have some sound effects that maybe Shermack will respond to.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Oh, yeah, let's see how that goes.

[Podcast Host]

Can you hear this?

[Lane (Producer)]

Okay, let's try it. Whoa, he's fluffing up his feathers now. Oh, well done.

[Podcast Host]

He really that do anything Shamrock for you?

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

He just yells out, answer the fucking phone. Okay, Shamrock. Very Chicago of you.

[Lane (Producer)]

Wait, Let's see if we can do that again with a different sound. Oh, wait, wait, wait.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Yes, That's Shamrock.

[Lane (Producer)]

Is that him?

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Is Shamrock. Is there any. Is there a way Shamrock's interpreting that ring as a bird call of some sort and is like to communicate back to it. God. I ask deep questions. We all agree. I ask super deep questions.

[Lane (Producer)]

Yeah. He said he. He. That's what I. That's what I often say. I believe he said yes. Oh, he's come. He's Coming closer. He's coming closer to the camera.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Oh, that was Shamrock. Got a little upset with us right there.

[Podcast Host]

Dinosaur Shamrock. Do you guys have any questions for the human behind the phone?

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Andrew, how long have you been caring for Shamrock here?

[Kohler Ambassador]

Oh,

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

we've had a Shamrock, like, three weeks now. She came to the shelter from

[Podcast Host]

an

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

older owner that can no longer take care of her.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Okay.

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

So we're just helping her acclimate to a new surrounding before she goes into the general shelter.

[Lane (Producer)]

Is she saying something right now?

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

Yeah, I mean, it's mostly nonsense. These birds just pick up what they hear. So a lot of times it's like one sided phone conversations from their previous owners. So she's. She's just pretending like she's talking.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Is it true that she could, like, sort of work her voice into sounding very identical to a human's or whoever's talking? Yeah, okay.

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

Oh, yeah, like the. I definitely can tell that she used to live with an older lady and then, like an adult son, and the son was named Ryan. Because at night, when she wants attention, she'll just start yelling and she'll go, right, Ryan. Like an old lady.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Oh, my gosh. That's fascinating.

[Lane (Producer)]

It seems like he's just saying something right now. Also. Apologies, Shamrock. I was calling you a he.

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

It's okay. They're very hard to tell apart.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

I actually was able to tell. I don't want to talk about how good I am at distinguishing different birds and stuff. That's not what this show's about. But I was able to tell

[Lane (Producer)]

you did. I knew that about you.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

You knew?

[Lane (Producer)]

I was very educated when it came to bird sex.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Ornitholog. Ornithologically. Shamrock. Can you say your name? Shamrock. Shamrock.

[Lane (Producer)]

Sometimes if you say, she said no.

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

If you say, hi, Shamrock. Oh, see? He said, how are you, Shamrock?

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Oh, how are you, Shamrock?

[Lane (Producer)]

Hi, Shamrock. No. Oh, I got a hello.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

God, it's fascinating.

[Lane (Producer)]

We just got to teach. Teach her to count drug money.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Yep. Yeah, no, that's what I was thinking, too.

[Podcast Host]

Or read the credits, you know.

[Lane (Producer)]

Oh, read our end credits.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Oh, Shamrock.

[Lane (Producer)]

She is a pretty.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Shamrock.

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

Shamrock.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Rory. Can you say Rory?

[Lane (Producer)]

Rory staring you down?

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

Rory.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Rory. Oh, did Shimmer just say asshole?

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host]

Okay, she's walking away now. She's done.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

This interview's over. She says, oh, my God, here I am, a nice person.

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

Oh,

[Lane (Producer)]

oh. Coming in real close.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Getting real close. Wanting to really smell our essence. It feels like.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Not hard, though. Converts smell.

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

Oh, yeah, they can smell.

[Podcast Host]

Okay.

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

They're actually very sensitive to Scented candles and oil. So if you have a bird, you should not have those things.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Good note for our listeners, if you're thinking of getting a bird and you don't know that, there you go. You got to get those Yankee candles out of the house. Josh's favorite candle. S'. Mores. Yankee candle.

[Lane (Producer)]

I love a vanilla. A French vanilla.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Fresh laundry. Who doesn't love that? Of course. It smells like the real thing.

[Podcast Host]

What's the vibe in the adoption center? How often do you get people coming in looking for birds?

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

Well, yeah, definitely on a weekly basis. You know, you got people coming in every week to check out our birds. So the society started out just as, like a bird enthusiast club back in the 1930s. And it wasn't until 2012 that they actually decided to open a bird shelter. And it's been entirely volunteer run since then. Open every day from 10 to 2. We just have volunteers take care of at any time. We have well over 100 birds, so they always need fresh food, fresh water, change out their, their cages. And I'd say we adopt out, on average, three or so birds a month.

[Podcast Host]

That's pretty good.

[Lane (Producer)]

How long does a bird like Shamrock live?

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Well, cover. Cover Shamrock's ears before you answer that.

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

They can go anywhere from 50 to 80 years.

[Lane (Producer)]

Whoa.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Oh, man.

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

Yeah, so that's.

[Lane (Producer)]

It's a commitment.

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

Birds like these are definitely a long term commitment. Like, I'm in my 30s, and I would, I would not buy a new baby Amazon because it would outlive me by a lot.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

How old is Shamrock?

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

She is at a, what, 26.

[Lane (Producer)]

So she's got a long. She's got a good, long life ahead of her.

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

Yeah, her path to the shelter was a pretty common one. You know, she was bought as a baby by someone in, like, their middle, early middle age. And they get to an age where they can no longer take care of the bird and they have adult children that also don't have the ability to take care of a perpetual toddler. And so we get a lot of, like, bigger birds like this that are in their, like, 20s to 30s, where they're. They still have a lot of life left in them.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Yeah, 26. I was detecting a little, you know, youthful sass.

[Lane (Producer)]

I felt like. Yeah, just.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

You heard me, Shamrock. Shamrock, you heard exactly what I said.

[Lane (Producer)]

Unless you're a child, you should get a gently used bird and not a new bird.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Yes, gently used, 100%.

[Lane (Producer)]

Oh, what's happening here? Claws up to.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

That's pretty dope.

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

She might bite me. We'll see.

[Lane (Producer)]

Oh, that would be exciting.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Does it hurt?

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

So far, not yet.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Okay.

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

But there's a first time for everything.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Well, we know Andrew's a little bit

[Andrew (Bird Handler)]

of a risk taker, so these birds are typically. They bond to like one person. And from what we understand, the last owner, she bonded with the adult son, so I feel like she's. She's probably bonded to me. So she was just printing my hand a little bit there to show that we're buds.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Yeah, I love that. Affectionate. You know what I mean? Shamrock's not, you know, bottled up.

[Lane (Producer)]

Thank you.

[Podcast Host]

Thank you, Shamrock.

[Lane (Producer)]

Thank. Thanks, Shamrock.

[Spinquest Disclaimer/Commentator]

Thank you, Shamrock.

[Podcast Host]

[Kohler Ambassador]

When Kohler, global design leader in luxurious kitchen and bath products, asked me to be their ambassador for timeless, elegant, durable cast iron, I said I'm in. Soon after, I was in their Kohler Wisconsin foundry watching molten iron, poured, enamel applied by hand and the beautiful finished pieces ready to ship. Since 1883, Kohler cast iron has been crafted by incredible artisans and and seeing it firsthand gave me a whole new appreciation for their craftsmanship. Now I am proud to lend my stamp of approval to my favorite Kohler Cast Iron products for their durability, beauty and enduring style.
