Hehe, yep, I agree!
He's a he parakeet, named Sylvester, and he prefers violins, string orchestras, etc. He really loves Strauss and Vivaldi, they are two of his favorites.
He stands K-hits (my local 70's station) when the classical station is doing Opera, (he can't stand opera and Wagner makes him think something is coming to eat him!), but whenever Rod Stewart sings, he gets hyper and squawks and flies in dive bombing motions if we don't switch the station. He does that with Bonnie Rait, and a few other gravelly voiced singers too, and anything that he thinks is coming to eat him, like really weird synthesizer stuff. There's one song in particular he hates and tells us about, but I don't know the name, but it starts with this really weird instrumental, and then the rest of the song is all instrumental, but the first part sounds like something coming to get you.
He's some bird, allright!
