getting a bird to love music

I LOVE that my girl loves music. It is a must! SO much fun...Sophies favorites are all songs to the " sound of music". She loves it! Also, try songs from " The phantom of the Opera". Nancy

Sully doesn't seem to care about music either way. What does Sophie do when she hears the music?

Dorian Loves Loves Loves it when I play a cd, have the radio on, or sit at the keyboard and sing. He whistles and woots and chatters the whole time. It's lovely, he's so happy. Does Sophie sing along or dance?

Sophie will only dance and cluck. When the boys are home from college... they get her rapping with clucks and dance. She has EXCELLENT rythm! ONLY clean songs, as she knows NO swear words. The only song she sings to with words is " Take me out to the ballgame". She messes it up all the time and starts over.Sigh... we have a lot of start overs! When she thinks she has done a good job, she will say " Play ball", and of course that is our cue to clap and say " yay Sophie!" She is pleased! ( she probably sucked just as much!) LOL If she is pleased, so are we! We always want her to be happy and pleased with herself... and YES she is... ( a little too much!). Confidence, has never been Sophie's problem

I have always appreciated when my kids were learning a new instrument, Sophie was always there for them. A cluck of approval, even if they stunk! She also has a cluck of " disapproval", that she uses too... kids know her approval or disapproval cluck and she lets us know! Nancy

My CAG Gracie loves music. She is not a dancer, but she loves to sing along. If there is a song she likes she will try to accompany it with her own composition--usually a mix of random lyrics and nonsense words.

Sophie HATES opera! My Amazon LOVED it! Kids play several instruments, I can only play the piano. Sophie just can't get enough of someone playing something. Luckily, the kids sound amazing now, but she thinks they are as good as yesterday...shows you, it was a bonding experience Nancy
