Video of a great duo singing and playing 'Sultans of swing'. smile
Lovely little clip that made me smile, because I love parrots and guitars.

That's amazing! I can't do links but there's a great one on YouTube entitled 'cockatoo loves Elvis'. Very funny.

Ah, I think I know that one.
The time I waste watching parrots is shameful. smile

Me too MissA. I need a hobby.

What a beautiful whistler!

That’s so funny MissA.
They went on to sing Van Morrison’s Brown Eyed Girl, complete with whistles and warbles. We loved it.
Thank you for sharing.

I love Tico. He makes me smile. "Oh Baaaybaaay. ??

MissAdventure Wed 22-Dec-21 18:28:59

Oh good.
I am glad you all enjoyed it.
I was thinking it was a bit silly to post, but good music should always be shared, I think.

Isn't that wonderful ? How clever those birds are.

MissAdventure Wed 22-Dec-21 18:33:34

He is very clever.
He always manages to warble in just the right way for different genres.
Rock is his favourite.

D has an African Grey who's a character and laughs if I go to the house because it relates me to laughing but also recognises me beforehand.
When D is on the phone to me I can hear the parrot laughing in the background so he knows that D is talking to me. How clever is that ?

My friend had an african grey, I think they are the best talkers in that they copy sounds exactly.
Hers used to make the phone noise, the click of the receiver being picked up, then her husbands voice saying "Helloo".

Oh dear - I’m going to be very distracted by this. Thank you.

MissAdventure Wed 22-Dec-21 19:19:14

I love this one.
Not quite up to Tico's voice, but she makes up for it in enthusiasm, and the end is beautiful.
