Is your parrot a fan of music?

SHOWTUNES!! I’m gonna give it a try!

Jacob loves absolutely any kind of music, the louder the better. Here he is dancing and going bonkers to loud music:

I turn on classical station if I'm leaving the house for a full day of work. I don't know whether they like it, but Sunny yells at me while I'm leaving, if I forget. But, if I don't turn it off within my normal time once I'm home, she also yells at me. So I don't know whether she likes it or not.

She seems to like anything I play on the fiddle, as long as I don't hit any wrong notes, or move my shoulder too much if she's standing on it. When I finish a tune she will yell, once, in my right ear. She doesn't care if my tempo is off, but definitely feels the need to tell me about it when I hit a wrong note.

She doesn't seem to have any opinion about any other music.

My budgies also like fiddle music. Recorded is okay, but their preference is definitely that I play for them.

My original reason for purchasing a bird, I needed someone to ignore me while I practice. So I brought home two tiny budgiess. I named them after fiddle tunes, and they have steadfastly refuse to ignore my playing. (Well, every now and then Calliope tries to ignore me, but Jefferson won't allow it.) Almost all of the time when I play, they sit side-by-side, upright but relaxed, watching me. Looking for all the world like a tiny little audience. (If I attempt to play in another room, out of their sight, they get very upset.)

They might or might not sing along when I play.

I do play their tunes for them whenever I take out my fiddle. You would think I would have "Jefferson Reel" properly memorized by now, since it's one of my favorites, but I don't. So either I have to get out my book, or else I play it less-well. Therefore -- and this is true, I am not making this up -- Jefferson is convinced that " Jefferson Reel" is CALLIOPE's tune. And, he clearly believes that "Calliope House," "Lord of the Dance," and "Mason's Apron" are HiS tunes.

I absolutely love how birds have no problem keeping a beat but put three random people together and ask them to clap their hands to the beat and at least one of them will have a problem LOL!

Lol Parrots hate country.

Pretty much anything goes with my birbs, as long as Im singing to it. They love anything sung with love.

Singing along to music was one of the bet ways to entertain them and bond with them, when I first brought them home.

IMO birds show their love and comfort to you while you are singing to them, more than a dog or cat will. The looks they give you and the little behaviors they do, are so sweet, they just melt my heart.

Yes! My babies do this too. They dont dance like the bigger parrots. But they give you feedback like they love it with eye contact and making comfortable body language.

It’s an obvious classical for Gemma as she LOVES whistling. Valentine likes any kind of music but sky hates everything. It’s a bit complicated, they live together but they are the exact opposite to each other. Valentine is mental and loves to fly, sky is calm and prefers to walk and hop than fly.
Eddie loved pop music, he would dance, scream and talk when played.

 

[bigfellasdad]

Enzo dances to house music, she doesnt seem interested in any thing else.

My birds are all fans of music, usually either pop stuff, or reggea, this morning it was ac/dc thinderstruck that caused my birds to go nuts!
