Parrot Launches Hands-Free Consumer Awareness Campaign With $10,000 Sweepstakes

LOS ANGELES, CA, Jun 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
In this highly charged political year, a new petition is being launched
in California to recall the state bird. Have you ever wondered what the
state bird has done for you lately? If the answer is "nothing," then take
action today! Petition Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to launch a
statewide initiative to recall the California Valley Quail. Instead vote
for a bird known not only for its strong morale character, family values
and intelligence, but one that is actually trying to improve the
community: Parrot.

Go to www.parrotnotquail.com and sign the petition to the Governor to
replace the California Valley Quail, with Parrot. You will join drivers
around the state in remaining calm, cool and collected behind the wheel
by learning to avoid distracted driving and understanding what hands-free
options are right for you.

"The California Valley Quail has been around for 77 years, with no
results. On the other hand, Parrot has long been a champion of important
issues, such as being a family friend and pet, he is now taking on
support of the up-coming July 1st hands-free legislation through
education," said Mike Hedge, campaign advisor, Parrot Inc. "Parrot aims
to rid the roads of distracted drivers, those careless cell-phone
wielding multi-taskers, in an effort to make people's commutes a more
stress-free, zen-like experience."

At www.parrotnotquail.com site visitors will also find games, social
media, funny videos, and tips for distraction-free driving. Visitors can
also review a range of hands-free options and learn more about the
benefits of using a hands-free mobile phone device while driving. In
addition, by signing the petition, visitors will automatically enter a
sweepstakes to win $10,000 or a trip to the exotic Parrot Cay (in Turks
and Caicos). Participants can also play Parrot's Instant Win Game every
day between June 9th - August 9th for a chance to win either a Parrot
portable MINIKIT or a Parrot 3200 LS-color car kit with free installation.

Parrot Inc., the world's largest manufacturer of hands-free car kits has
launched a campaign to vote for the Parrot to become the official State
Bird of California, to build awareness and encourage compliance for the
July 1st California hands-free law. No quails were harmed in the
development of this campaign. More information about Parrot can also be

client base, with 86.6% of sales generated outside of France, and in terms
of production, outsourced to carefully selected partners, enabling it to
achieve the best possible level of quality and responsiveness. Parrot is
now particularly well positioned to capitalize on the bright future
opening up for mobile telephone devices. Parrot has seen sustained growth
