Critics Squawk: Parrot Song "Strangely Compelling"

I'm glad to say that The Ballad of the Brooklyn Parrots song has been getting heavy airplay on Quaker Parrot Music Channels. And the critics are squawking too: here are some recent reviews:

- "It reminds me a lot of a Leonard Cohen song, although I don't think that Leonard Cohen ever wrote a song about Quaker Parrots" -- Stacey, Kansas City

- "Great Beat" -- Deeb, Quebec

- "Lou Reed meets the Doors (did Jim Morrison have a pet parrot?)" - Orooney, Yonkers, NY

- "A strangely compelling ode to an invasive species. Definitely something that I'd never expect to hear on the radio" -- Holly, Rockaway Beach

- "Jim Morrison Meets Rick Moranis at the Audubon Society" -- FeatherButtz, Hastings-on-Hudson, NY

You can listen to the song by clicking here. Or you can watch the shockwave presentation that plays the song and shows synchronized parrot pix!
