Scottie the Parrot Web Site

Scottie the Parrot SM is owned and operated by LCC Enterprises, a third party separate from the Barefoot Hawaiian. Quotes and contracts for Scottie the Parrot are arranged directly by this owner and trainer and are provided separately from those of the Barefoot Hawaiian, even if for the same event.

Scottie the Parrot SM and the Barefoot Hawaiian do however have a mutual working relationship that benefits your event.   Be sure to mention Barefoot Hawaiian in your inquiry to receive those benefits.  It also ensures that we work together during the event to make it the best it can be. Further details on how we work mutually can be provided during your inquiry.

Scottie thanks the Barefoot Hawaiian for being the only tropical bird they use and refer.  Likewise, LCC Enterprises and Scottie the Parrot, uses and refers only the Barefoot Hawaiian for all Hawaiian entertainment needs.

 

Service
Area:

The Barefoot Hawaiian is available for Polynesian Entertainment around the world.  Please allow sufficient lead time for international bookings.

We regularly service this region in volume.

With our staff of over 130 performers, we may be able to book your event with relatively little lead time.  In the greater Chicago Land area, we are often able to provide same-day service.

Feedback,
Comments,
Complaints:

The Barefoot Hawaiian appreciates any and all feedback from clients, patrons, guests, and audience members regarding our show and performance.  Please determine the best and most efficient way to provide your feedback from the following categories:

Clients: Please provide your feedback to us directly either by phone or by the confidential email address that was used in our communications when setting up your event.

Guests of Private Parties: If you were a guest or customer of a private party (this would be any event not listed in our Event Schedule web page), then this event was run entirely and exclusively by your host.  The best method of providing your feedback would be directly to your host.  They are in the best position to collect and consolidate all feedback and pass it on to us along with their comments so we may respond or act on it most efficiently.  If the circumstance is one of an unresolved issue between you and the event's host, you must communicate the matter directly with the host.  The Barefoot Hawaiian does not become involved in any internal matters of private events and parties.

Customers of a Barefoot Hawaiian Event: 
If you attended an event that was run directly by or sponsored all or in part by the Barefoot Hawaiian, we would love to hear from you.  This would be any event from which you purchased a ticket directly from or paid an admission or entrance fee to the Barefoot Hawaiian.  We want to know where we did good and where we need to improve. If the matter is one of significance requiring immediate attention you may contact us by phone at 847-699-7336 Extension #1; otherwise, email your feedback to:

Audience Members of a Public Show or Event: 
This applies if you were the customer, guest, or audience member of an event that was open to the public but not sponsored directly by the Barefoot Hawaiian.  (Note: all public events are on our Event Schedule page.)  For this, the best method of providing your feedback would be directly to the host, promoter, or sponsoring organization that held the event.  They are in the best position to collect and consolidate all feedback and pass it on to us along with their comments so we may respond or act on it most efficiently.
If there is something exceptional that you want us to know, we welcome such feedback via email to:

If the circumstance is one of an unresolved issue between you and the event's sponsor, you must communicate the matter directly with the host.  The Barefoot Hawaiian has no means to become involved in or resolve issues between our client and customers of that client.  If, however, for public events only, yours is one of exception that you think we should at least know about, you may email your feedback to us at:

While we cannot become involved in resolving any dispute, our reputation with our audience members is our most prized and valuable asset.  An aggregate of feedback about a particular event, will help us determine whether we wish to return to performing at that event or not.

General Web Site Information:

This web site was designed specifically for viewing with the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser and is best viewed with Internet Explorer Version 6.0 (or higher) running on either a Microsoft Windows System (Windows 98 or higher) or an Apple Macintosh System.
As an alternate browser choice, the Netscape Navigator browser (version 7.1 or higher recommended) running on a Windows System (Windows 98 or higher) may be used.

This site has been tested extensively with both browsers. Extensive testing with other browsers has not been performed; therefore, the webmaster makes no guarantees on the performance and rendering of this web site with other browsers. Regardless of your browser choice, this site requires at minimum a browser that supports JavaScript and has JavaScript turned on. You must also allow pop-up windows to be originated from this site for certain functions to operate properly.

This site also requires a display screen of at least 800x600 pixels. You must therefore have a computer and a computer monitor that supports a screen resolution of at least 800x600. If your screen resolution is set to 800x600, then your browser window will need to occupy the entire screen in order to view this web site as intended. If your hardware supports even higher resolutions, and you have your screen set to a resolution greater then 800x600, you may have a browser window that occupies only a portion of the screen and still be able to view this site properly. In addition, you should be using at least a Pentium-class system operating at 200 MHz or higher.

This web site was written in HTML and its modern variants, JavaScript, with Cascading Style Sheets, and server-side programming. The programs and code were designed entirely to aid in site navigation and presentation and to perform validation of data entered on forms and are non-invasive and non-intrusive in nature and do not attempt to access personally private information. This site contains no other programs, applets, forms, counters, or controls — hidden or unhidden — other than those disclosed here and does not read cookies from or write cookies to your computer.

Please note that although we developed this site with the minimal use of JavaScript, it is essential for certain functions.  Consequently, some of the pages used in this web site, require the use of JavaScript. If you are not using a JavaScript capable and enabled browser, you will not be able to access that web page, and instead you will received an error message.

Also note that this site uses pop-up windows. These pop-ups occur only in response to a request you have entered or clicked on. No where in this web site do we use pop-up windows to present advertising or solicitations. If you are using a pop-up blocker, you must — and you may safely — allow this web site to create pop-up windows.

Sorry, but we cannot respond to complains or reports of operational problems where JavaScript is not enables, pop-ups are not allowed, or where the other minimum requirements have not been met. We kindly request that you first ensure that all your system and browser meet the minimum requirement before writing to us about a problem. 

Email Addresses used in this site:

The Email Addresses contained in this site are rendered in a way to make them resistant to Automated Email Address Harvesting Programs and Robots often used by spammers. Reducing our susceptibility to spam attacks means faster and more efficient service to you because a higher percentage of emails are legitimate communications rather than spam that we must filter out. Accomplishing this means, however, that a little extra typing is required on your part. Clicking on an Email Address contained in this web site will open an Email composition window of your default mail program (if your system is configured to do so). The "TO" field, however, is not automatically filled in, requiring you to type in the specified Email Address yourself in that field.

Printing Our Web Pages:

Our web pages were designed to be printer friendly and printer optimized to make best use of the printed page and thereby save you paper.  To properly print one of our web pages you may need to change the settings in your browsers printer setup. To ensure the full page is printed without being cut off on either the left or right, go into your browser's printer or page setup. In Internet Explorer, this is Page Setup under the File menu. Change both the left and right margins to .4". The top and bottom margins should be set to your preference. Any headers or footers may be according to your preference. Our pages have been designed to be printed on U.S. letter standard (8.5 x 11 inch) paper.
