what song would you teach your bird?

[mopinko]

we are all getting tired of happy birthday. my new lorie is a really good whistler. i am really music retarded, although i am a decent whistler. i just can't seem to think of another tune that would be good.

1. Bridge over the River Kwai song!

If that's what it is called....years ago a neighbor's bird whistled that, but always got stuck in one part. It was really cute. :-)

I like "Fur Elise" (don't know how to make that German umlaut on the computer, lol).

4. she likes this one!

i think the river kwai song has a name, but i have no idea what it is. i tried it out on her and either she liked it a lot, and picked it right up, or she has heard it before. she doesn't really know it, but she did repeat a couple of the phrases. so that's a keeper.
one things about rescues, you spend a lot of time wondering about their past.

2. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

you make me happy when skies are gray
you'll never know dear how much I love you
please don't take my sunshine away.


I couldn't stop on just one or two lines.

She also whistles don't worry be happy, she weaves this in with several melodies of her own creation.

5. How about the Andy Griffith theme song?

:) I whistle that one myself sometimes. It always seems to make people smile.

7. how about the "Hogan's Heroes" theme song.

That would be a good whistling tune.

8. boy, my musical retardation is at work here.

i'm sure this tune is going to float up into my consciousness later today, but i am drawing a complete blank.
