What random music does your parrot like best?

[idlepirate]

I've been experimenting to different kinds of music to see which relaxes or excits my little conure.
His favorite is traditional Brazillian music. Considering it's where hes from, I like to believe he understands it and it reminds him of home. I leave brazillian radio on for him when I go out and he seems really happy and relaxed listening to it.
Sometimes I play some traditional swiss music (without the excessive yodelling ) and he really seems to love it too. Maybe just coz he knows it's where his mom is from so he better not dare judge it. hehe. I keep telling him that I'm gonna move back soon and I'm taking him with me so that he can fly around in the alps

I just caught my bird bobbing her head and "dancing" too a MGMT mix

My birds respond to all different types of music.

Einstein will bob his head when he hears anything with a good beat.

The budgies always go quiet when I play the beatles.

But nothing gets them going like hearing the sounds of wild birds.

"Jake" is a lead head , she loves to sing along with Robert Plant

Isis is kinda catholic in her music tastes, but really loves a good bit of English Folk - just like her 'Dads' - especially Seth Lakeman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8UBqpmqkxs&feature=related), Bellowhead (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6UKC8Ibx_o&feature=related) and Martin Simpson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwqbi7mlYOg&feature=related) - preferably in that order (funny enough, the snakes love Martin too - must be something in the tenor of his voice: ...)

Any music with a good beat will get her interest - but Bellowhead in particular will have her whistling and calling at the top of her birdie-lungs (but then their music is very loud and dancable - with lots of choruses and crazy mixes of instruments and sounds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-x9KtmSwLA&feature=related).

Like most amazons, she also likes a bit of opera - especially soprano or mezo-soprano arias; her curent favourite is the 'Doll song' from 'Tales of Hoffman' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALK-e_j91oM&feature=related) - I guess it sounds quite bird-like...

We always leave her with a radio on if we have to go out - normally Radio three or Radio 4

I'll sing "somewhere over the rainbow" to her and she gets pretty vocal right along with me asides from that she'll tap her beak against a hard surface when I play a song with a good beat to it. I even catch her with the beginings of a jerky dance once in a while...

michael jackson.

[Jack-Do]

Mine likes Pink Floyd

She easily grumbles when music is too loud, but not when it's Pink Floyd. If it's Pink Floyd, no matter what, it's ok!

I forgot to mention opera, like Snakes said , Amazons love their opera.

@snakesentwined
NIce taste in music by the way:) the fact you mention opera reminds me of my favorite youtube parrot video. Would be brilliant to get a parrot to do this haha.



I think opera must be universally liked by parrots due to the high notes and different pitches...maybe explains the swiss yodelling music Loro likes???

Has anyone heard of tried this cd "while you were gone- songs for birds" something like that. Supposed to play it while you're out and the parrots love it. I tried listening to the samples but I thought it was a bit dull. Jungle sounds, piano and some weird lady telling stories inbetween
