The real macaw
The video description of this piece on Vimeo says that it has something to do with Michel Foucault's theory of postsexualism. To be honest, I had a little exposure to poststructuralist thinkers like Foucault in college, and found them rather mind-numbing. So I prefer to just appreciate the neat bunraku puppetry and the nicely performed Beatles song.

My impression of Foucault is that he liked to express relatively simple points in a very opaque way. Of course, that's an uneducated opinion and may account for why I didn't understand the bird.
No, I think that's a pretty good characterization. As to the bird, I just enjoyed it without worrying whether I understood it. Hey, if they want to throw in a monkey singing "Oh! Darling" I'm up for it.
