WOOT! A scarlet! Looking good!@mikeoso would appreciate this! Hey Mike!
I don't seem to have any pics of my birds with a bass. Will a 12 string acoustic do?

However, here's a couple of my residents.

How cool!
Fred, my scarlet macaw pictured earlier bobs her head and “dances” when I play.
Crystal. My Blue Front Amazon pictured here, whose been with me 28 years, “sings” along when I play. She’s in tune and anticipates the changes, too!

Short for Frederica ? Does she have a complex being called FRED or is she also a Tony Williams Lifetime / Allan Holdsworth fan ?

Most of my macaws are bobbers and dancers too, R&B fans, and want to groove. The amazons are great singers, and several of them do operatic arias. The cockatoos are headbangers. Conures seem to dig Norteno.
Reggae goes over well, too, as does old calypso....kinda tropical vibe, yannow?
This is amazing. Have they done studies on parrots (is that an umbrella term for all ?) and their emotional reaction to music ? I don't even know if the great apes like music. I think elephants do. I bet you have some good stories.
I got her as a baby and finished hand feeding her. Tried various names like Fiesta and Rainbow suited to her appearance. She had no response to them. I called her Fred one day and she instantly looked up at me. Continued trying various names over the next day or two and she only responded to Fred, so she picked it.
At about two years old I sent a blood sample to the DNA Sexing Lab and learned Fred is a girl!
I found out tonight that Tyson, my bass inspector Jack Russell has heart failure and I’ll more than likely have to put him to sleep in the upcoming few days. Please pray for me. This isn’t going to be easy for me. He was my ‘cushion’ for when my older Jack Russell’s were starting to pass away. He’s 14 and I figured I’d have him around at least 2 more years based on the ages of my other dogs when they passed.Tyson helping inspect basses on NBD's

Very sad when that happens. Sorry for you.I found out tonight that Tyson, my bass inspector Jack Russell has heart failure and I’ll more than likely have to put him to sleep in the upcoming few days.

The only study I've seen was about rhythm. Cockatoos scored way ahead of other parrot species...they are the drummers of the parrot world (cant play bass, cuz they have to move).
I do keep a guitar in the shelter, and play for the birds.
Really sorry to hear. Prayers for Tyson and youI found out tonight that Tyson, my bass inspector Jack Russell has heart failure and I’ll more than likely have to put him to sleep in the upcoming few days.

Just tears me up.
Beautiful Mr Bear. I miss him and his bass critique
