What Do Parrots & Prostitutes Have In Common? Heidi Fleiss

07/29/2011

Noname From Madame to Macaw Madness

The infamous former “Hollywood Madam” Heidi Fleiss established one of the most notorious illegal sex businesses ever in the U.S. in the 1990's. Living the high life (literally and figuratively), her stint in the fast lane was replete with a mansion and millions of dollars, before her 'ho empire crumbled. Three years in jail and a stint in rehab under her belt - Fleiss is now looking to get her life back on track.

How life has indeed changed for Ms. Fleiss, who now shares her small home with a flock of 20 exotic macaw parrots as part of her in-home parrot rescue. The parrots fly freely about her home located in the small town of Pahrump, Nev.

Watch the Madness Unfold This Sunday Night

 

On Sunday, July 31, at 10 PM (ET/PT), Animal Planet’s HEIDI FLEISS: PROSTITUTES TO PARROTS, provides a never-before-seen look into Heidi’s day-to-day life, where drugs and escorts have been replaced by birds and business. The one-hour special follows Fleiss as she struggles to care for the new feathered loves in her life.

With her home covered in bird poop and monthly bills for the birds soaring into the thousands, the former madam attempts to juggle tending to all the birds at home with the necessity of leaving them to earn a living outside of it.
