So ya think ya bird can take on the bright lights in the Big City?

WebVet, the newly launched Web site that is relentlessly striving to be the WebMD for pets, this week launched its "Birds on Broadway 2008" contest. If your little tweety can sing like a canary -- or dance like Michael Jackson used to -- submit a two-minute video to WebVet by clicking here. Submissions accepted through Oct. 14.

Then, in American Idol fashion, the public will get to vote on their favorites by going to the site between Oct. 21 through Oct. 28.

The campaign was kicked off this week in, where else, but Times Square. Here's a video featuring cockatoo Lola (she was a showgirl!) eyeing the action at 47th Street.

Broadway may be in the title but, no, the winner doesn't get a guest spot in "Mama Mia!" Just $2,500 and a chance to wing their way through live appearances for WebVet.

At least it's nice that with all the attention paid to dogs and cats, someone is remembering that birds are pets, too. WebVet hopes that the contest will encourage owners to spend more time interacting with their budding stars, something avian specialists say keeps birds healthy.
