From Opera to Rap to Americana: Amazons Sing!

I’ve always loved working with Amazons. I’m a Grey Girl at my core, of course. The reserved and serious demeanor of my thinking parrot suits me better than the party parrots — dancers like cockatoos or singers like Amazons. Still, nothing steals a scene like a crowd pleasing Amazon. If I had more cocktail parties in my home that involved loud music and lampshades, I might switch allegiances.

Every parrot species has its tendencies towards different strengths and quirks. However, every parrot is an individual. Not all Amazons sing. Plenty of cockatoos are standoffish. Some greys never utter a word. So its worth noting that you should know your species from top to bottom before you get a parrot. And then don’t get a parrot because you want one…get a parrot because you could not live without the company of one.

Lecture done…on to the fun stuff!  Canta Menino!

What a finish!!  Then you’ve got Cosmo with a rap video that’s going viral:

Okay, so really the only thing Cosmo has down is “Apple Bottom Jeans” but he still rules. Now if only he had some backup dancers…

But Groucho with my pal Barb is my favorite. I did many a show with that scene-stealing green guy.
