Julie,
Did you know that at least some of those birds can really sing!
My friend and I had great fun teaching hers to sing. He would
repeat a pfrase you played or sang and then he would make up his
own tunes. He had a lovely voice too. Give it a go and do let
us know if you have any success with him or her, or both!
