I haven't been around the computer much, so I haven't gotten around to a Darcy update (which will have lots of pictures).

I just found this article and wanted to share it: Scientists discover that parrots universally hate techno | Death and Taxes

What kind of music does your bird like? I'm not sure what Darcy likes yet; Puck liked most music I would play, and would go "raaaaaaah" when heavy metal came on.
 
That's interesting!
I don't have a wide variety of music choices, however i made a huge discovery just the other day..
Usually when i listen to music Fargo SCREAMS over it and doesn't dance... I then listened to a one direction song and Fargo loved it, i had never seen that reaction before, he was mumbling along, and then was regurgitating !!! I got it on video as well!
So now i am stuck with one direction -.- :p hahaha
 
Tab I am old and not tech savey. What on earth is one direction music:D
 
I cringe when I read that story, because it's got bad reporting. The study shows that two individual birds have preferences in music, no more no less.
 
Mine like Techno and (ARGH!!!!!!) JUSTIN BIEBER!!!! :eek: Now I'm stuck listening to his edited voice in order to get them to dance! Oh no. ;)

Oliver likes Lady Gaga. :p
 
My AG loves "disco" like "I will survive" and "YMCA", she also loves Adele
 
My sun conure loves dubstep, lol.
 
The Zon's LOVE music!!! I had them in the office last night and they were going nuts over Pink Floyd/David Gilmore :D Halo especially, he swirls his head around like Stevie Wonder LOL
 
My birds love music, too, ESPECIALLY the Amazons. They like nothing more than to "party" with me. Partying consists of playing some of my favorite music quite loudly, while dancing and singing along. Yup- all of us. :eek:

All my birds LOVE classical music with a passion, too. :D

Codie's favourite song is.. " Meet Me Halfway " by the Black Eyed Peas:) He also loves Rhianna!!

One Direction is a boy band.... my 12 yr old daughter is obsessed with them

Odin likes the Elmo's world song from Sesame Street... and the Spongebob theme... he whistles parts of both
 
Have you all seen this video? Cracks me up every time!

Yeah, I know. Not a very thorough study. I should have said something, but it was the middle of the night when I posted this. I just thought it was a fun article.
 
hahaha yes its a boy band.. I had never listened to them before until a few days ago, cause i really hate justin beiber, so i thought i wouldn't like them :p but! i listened to all of their songs, but only liked 2 of them, so Fargo can have the other 2 on repeat ;)
Heres the video, it's only short :) and i sing for a second :eek:
He talked more through what makes you beautiful, but then started regurgitating through one thing :p hahaha

Georgie had favorites. It is still hard to tell with Gilbert. He pays attention if I sing to him more than if i am listening to music.....but he seemed to enjoy the Led Zeppelin Celebration Blu Ray! haha
Georgie's favorite song was the Police "Every Breath You Take". As soon as it got to "Since you're gone i've been lost without a trace. I dream at night, i can only see your face.........." she would totally get down, dancing.
 
LOL That's too cute! :D I don't really like them either, but I HATE Justin Bieber! :eek: And all my fids love him!
 
Hahnzel enjoys 80's guitar riffs, does not care for heavy metal, loves to dance with us, prefers to sing with daddy...
