So I found this on YouTube a little bit ago and thought it was interesting enough to share on here. If you haven't heard of Hatebeak, it is a death metal band who's "frontman" is an African Grey. Honestly I'm not a fan of it, I don't feel the birds random talking and squawking goes well with it but I guess it obviously works for some people. Here's one of their links if you want to check it out:

Birds: Bishop (quaker), Skye (pigeon), Casey (sparrow).

Just when I thought I'd "heard it all"...

. Definitely not the type of 'music' I'd choose to listen to, but you are right, it's interesting! I suppose one might as well listen to real parrot sounds than white noise. I hope the poor African Grey's name is not really Hatebeak.

Haha I have heard of this before... At first I was concerned for that African Grey but I looked into it a bit more and I recall coming to the conclusion that they actually cared for that bird (his name is Waldo) fairly well. For example, the band refuses to perform live despite numerous requests because they don't want to scare the bird. Here's an interview:

And yes, the music is absolutely horrible.
