Lullabies work on parrots!?!

So today is Thanksgiving. With all the commotion Sarah was really worked up so my family decided to put her in her cage and wait about 30 minutes before continuing normal processions.
When we put her in her cage she was running around and bouncing and just screaming. And i decided to try twinkle twinkle. I sat down and turned off some lights (plenty of light from sun anyway) lowered the TV volume and played it off my laptop. Within no time he had calmed down and sat in lazy cockatoo position.

Its still amazes me how much they are like children! If you are in this situation you may just wanna try a lullaby, maybe it will work like it did for me.

Music plays a HUGE role in our fids well-being. It can get them going, or calm them down, depending on what you play or sing.

All 3 of my babies "party" with me regularly. No, we don't go "clubbing" together, but I put on 1 or 2 (or more) CDs or even put in a music DVD and start dancing and singing with them. They ALL love it - with a passion.

My Amazons, especially, go berserk over classical music. There's NO stopping them whenever I play it.

And I also have a few "soothing" CDs (rainforest rythem, piano solos) which calms them almost instantly.

Awesome! Sarah also loves jamming out to the crazy pop songs of these days! I never imagined how fast it could calm a bird down though!
