Guyanese Parrots – talking and singing – comedy

Do you remember the parrots back home in Guyana…. Well here are two parrots conversing and even trying to sing  … funny!!!

They even say   “Merry Christmas.. Happy New Year!”  and try to sing nursery rhymes.

This entry was made on December 12, 2010, ten months after we started this Blog/ Website.  We are now in our 38th month, so many of the later readers may have missed it. It became one of the most popular entries at the time.

We hope that you enjoy it once again!
