The Welcoming Committee

I have quite the welcoming committee here at my home. First Ben, my Blue Crown Conure, sounds a ear splitting welcome call to all who enter through the front door. He really is quiet most of the time!

Then, if you're lucky, Chauncey will enlighten you with his repetoire of "How are YOU?" "How ARE you?" "HOW are YOU?"

If you answer him, you will be invited to sing The Itsy Bitsy Spider song. This involves much animation and dancing on everybody's part.

Here, Claudia (Munchie's Mom), is singing with the peanut gallery. Chauncey loves it but Buster and Lulli also got into the dancing. Ben? He just watches and waits to say his famous "hello" and give his kissing sounds.

Bursting into song is a great way to detour a noisy group. Claudia is never afraid of taking part in the act! Parrots really know how to have fun.
