Music for birds — what genres do yours like?

My cockatiel goes CRAZY (good crazy) when I play reggae music. Full-on dancing and singing along. But puts on classical and they fall asleep instantly. What music do your birds enjoy? I want to make Zazu a playlist!

I've done a ton of research on this because my lineolated parakeet had the same issue. Here's what I learned: the most common cause is not enough quality sleep — they need 10-12 hours uninterrupted. What worked for us was stuffing paper towel rolls with treats for foraging. I also started switching to a natural cleaning spray like F10 and noticed improvement within a week. It's a process but it gets better.

If you're in Aurora, check out the avian vet on Steeles Ave. They're amazing with Amazon parrot specifically.

My Tango went through a phase like this around 8 months. I was terrified but it passed. Birds are weird sometimes lol.

I got mine from Amazon Canada in Scarborough. Great selection and the staff actually knows about birds.

Totally normal, don't stress! Birds go through phases just like any other pet.

Thanks for sharing! I'll have a more detailed response shortly.
