This Brazilian duo of guitar and parrot are pretty good, but birds and guitars are not unusual.

Bluegrass sparrow
Cockatoo minimalism
Zebra finch shoegaze (about)

Well, as they say, a bird in the band beats two in the bush. Or something like that.

This is kinda adorable and lovely. Hatebeak, on the other hand, is what happens when you get your pet parrot to do lead vocals for your weekend death metal band.

Oh, that made my heart happy (although a little melancholy with missing my bird, quiet and non-singing as she was). Thank you for posting it!

That guy's Amazon parrot has a much better sense of melody than mine, who tends to just improv her own personal tune over whatever beat she's hearing. But his bird actually stays in key!

I, for one, would like to welcome our new parrot overlords.
