  • tjordan90, on 04/30/2009, -0/+7Dancing to the Backstreet Boys and Ringo? The bird's taste in music is questionable. Can he sing like Michael Bolton or play air keyboard like Starship?

  • darthzaphod, on 05/01/2009, -0/+2I have a parakeet who stays pretty quiet most of the time, except when I play the song "You Don't Know What Love Is" by the White Stripes off the Icky Thump album. Then he goes ***** nuts, singing his little lungs out. Pretty crazy little dude.

  • tjordan90, on 05/01/2009, -0/+1Wait no more. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQT6noaH0qo. "Notice: This video contains an audio track that has not been authorized by WMG. The audio has been disabled." Disabling the audio sort-kinda-maybe kills the joy dontyathink.
