Making an assumption here that you have captive parrots.
Please be careful. I have kept captive parrots for a number of years.
The response may not be what you expect or want. There is little
understanding about how much a captive bird owner goes through to get
the wild out of a parrot.
I have played Cockatoo recordings to a group of captive Cockatoo's as
well as played wild Quaker recordings to a captive Quaker's and Macaw
recordings to a single old captive, wild caught, Macaw. I was looking
into this as a possible large market for selling CD's.
The warning I will keep simple and you can investigate. The response
is often "big and obvious" and can make your birds wound up and hard
to contain. It was not hard to conclude this is a product I would not
want to sell.
Assuming again where I have insuffient info, that what you want is to
have your bird enjoy and be intent on listening to natural sounds.
What I have found best is to play spring dawn chorus of other
unrelated species that do not include raptures or owls.
If you want a sample mp3 of what I have tested and found parrots to
like to listen to, let me know and I will e-mail you a track to play with.
