New Song

[SharonC]

I'm going to try teaching Fred to sing a new song. He does "How much is that Doggie in the Window", now, but it is horrible and tuneless. I'm hoping that it's because the previous owners couldn't sing??? Any suggestions on a song that I won't mind singing and hearing over and over?

I would avoid " 29 bottles of beer on the wall" ... How about "how much is that birdie in the window? " sorry Von

Have you heard of the Quaker song

I have a cd of childrens songs for parrots. The phonix series. There are several songs on it and I play it over and over again. Rosie has now learned to pick the song she likes the best and for us it has been I'm a Little Tea Pot and she loves the last line of tip me over and pour me out. She adds some very cute little bird tweets.

SB you know Mishka is supposed to be learning amazing grace, LoL she sways to it but I think it bores her. I am going to surf the net now and see if I can download any of the songs from the children's songs for parrots. The phonix series
Thanks

My husband wants to teach Ruby to whistle Sweet Georgia Brown and my son wants to teach her Minnie the Moocher. She's learned about half of the Andy Griffith Show theme

That's great! You shoud do a video...

I've tried him with Henry the Eight...He enjoys it, but sings along with nonsense words, as he always does when I sing to him.
I tried him with Amazing Grace...he's spellbound, watches me and listens intently.
