What kind of Music does your Grey like?

[PrettyPax]

I have a wide variety of cd's and I'm always playing music for my bird to find out what she might respond to. I've been watching youtube videos of Greys bobbing their heads, beat boxing, and "dancing" to music. There is a grey that loves the Patsy Cline song "Crazy" and another that really loves it when its owner plays "Lord of the Dance" by the Dubliners (it sings "Donce, Donce" with a New Zealand accent). Not to mention the heavy metal loving, head banging Cockatoo. What kinds of songs to your birds/Greys like?

I have never found a genre of music my grey shows even the slightest interest in and I have tried them all.

 

He seems to like his own sounds and vocalizations to which he bobs, ducks, weaves and dances around while performing.

 

I assume he must want to be a "Perform/Star" and not be one sitting out in the crowd watching.

Thats Josey too Dan, she does not show any interest in any kind of music, I guess we have two that have no rhythm, they just play to their own beat.

Whisper's favorite song seems to be "Blue Christmas". She always gets vocal whenever I play it. She seems to like slow music rather than the fast beats.

In England where we live there is a radio soap called "The Archers". Its about the daily events in a small English farming community. I listen to it every day. When ever its signature tune comes on Misty has to join in whistling along to it. He hasn't got the tune right yet but he keeps trying. The tune is based on an English country maypole dance. It seems to be his favorite. Otherwise he seems to prefer jazz piano best but he is quite catholic in his tastes. A bit like me really.

I have not been able to find any real music mine like, but Saphira LOVES AFLAC commercials.

Every morning while eating breakfast, my birds listen to Birds on Broadway, by Ani Melodies. Bingo (CAG) dances and whistles along. They all love it. I ask him if he wants to hear his music and he starts bobbing his head -- so cute!

If I had to make a guess, Bella seems to like children songs. My grand daughter taught her how to do the "Tudi-tah". Bella sings that and bobs around and addess a whoop-dee-do-a-peak-a-boo to it :laugh:

Elmo's favorite song seems to be "Elmo's Song" and she likes to watch the clip of it on YouTube.:laugh:

 

Elmo also will get vocal when I have 80's music on. She also seems to like it when I sing, so that goes to show she is tone deaf.

 

Ethel at the store LOVES disco. Anytime a disco song comes on the stores radio he will start dancing and puffing up his crop.

I noticed Alcazar doesnt have a certain type of music however, when he hears Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire Song he gets all chirpy and sqwauky.

My son discovered this because he likes alot of country music especially old school country

[PrettyPax]

I was "babysitting" my friend's Amazon and I played some really twangy, Hank Williams songs with lots of yodeling, and what do you know? The bird started started bobbing her head, dancing and singing "Wah, Wah, Wah". Her owner who is a native New Yorker, was distressed when I told him his bird likes country music:P

[Sallas]

I have not tried children's songs with my birds yet. I will have to find some and give them a try.

Tobie likes anything, but my husband has quite a collection of blues and he seems to like that. I have some country and Tobie likes Toby Keith. I don't suppose the name has anything to do with it.
