HAHAHAHAHA, this is brilliant. 'You will not listen to that filth under my roof!' I'm trying to encourage Byron to sing along to Bach, I feel it's important for his emotional development  ?? |

(Maya will still never be subjected to the evils of country music.  ) 'You will not listen to that filth under my roof!' Oh boy.... those are fighting words... (just kidding). You know what you get when you play country music backwards? You get your house back... your car back... your dog back... lol |

Listen you guys, if Shah can tolerate my singing, then quakers can tolerate any form of music  |

Cupcake definitely seems happier when music is on. She tends to like soothing, or melodic tunes. Bach and Mozart work, as does syrupy pop music... She seems to be relatively indifferent to what is playing as long as it isn't jarring, but if it's happy sounding, I believe she enjoys it more. When the house is quiet, she is, without question, a grumpier bird.

Bonnie talks up a storm in the car when we have music playing. We just got back from camping in New South Wales a couple of days ago and she actually liked Elton John's 'Rocket Man' and a few Eagles songs. I'd have to say that quakers have taste in music - it just depends upon the artist and the track. During the day when we're at work I sometimes leave on 3AW (talkback radio station in Melbourne, Australia), other times easy listening music, but mostly nothing. It varies. |

Byron likes Mozart, Adele and Pentatonix. I know this because he whistles along and sidles closer to the radio/my phone when these or on. He doesn't respond to the other music overtly, but if I forget to leave the radio on when I'm out of the room, he cries. He's not quiet when the music is on, but he tends to chirp and trill rather than shout. So I do think music or other sounds is comforting for them. Their whole world is sound, and silence just means loneliness to them, whereas sound indicates a 'flock' nearby. It makes sense that they would find it comforting.

Mine are used to hearing a lot of music but I don't usually leave it on when we're not there.
