In Flanders Argo, a singing clown, wants to participate in Eurosong 08 'with a super-song and... my parrots', Argo says in an interview with Eurosong.be. The clown likes to take his chance but he doesn't know if it's allowed that one can take part with animals. Argo is a singing clown. He also has an act with parrots. As a Eurovision fan he wants to participate now in the Flemish preselection.

'Lately we have talked it over with my management. Now we have decided to take our chance', Argo tells Eurosong.be. As a clown he doesn't have to work on a special act to draw the attention of the audience, because he's a remarkable act on himself. But on stage Argo is accompanied by parrots. 'One of my parrots even sings a schlagerhit. If he's singing out of tone he corrects himself. We are often joking that he's singing better than some real artists', Argo says.

The key question is that animals are allowed to participate in Eurosong and the Eurovision Songcontest? 'I don't know', says Argo. 'We have to ask the question to national broadcaster Eén.' In case the parrots can take part in Eurosong, will the animals be kept under control? No problem if we may believe Argo: 'My parrots will not be afraid of camera's. They love to receive applause. They will stay where they are and they'll do what they are trained for.'
