🪶 Introduction
Parrots are highly intelligent and social birds. Just like humans, they respond to sounds, rhythms, and visuals. Music and TV can provide entertainment, mental stimulation, and bonding opportunities—if you choose the right kind.

Classical (Mozart, Bach, Beethoven) – calming, soothing.
Reggae (Bob Marley style) – parrots sway to the rhythm.
