Everybody's a critic
Those of you who have dogs or cats who run away from your whistle or flute or fiddle or whatever playing just don't have it as bad as me. I have a parrot. My parrot says "Oh crap!" when I pick up my flute.

Re: Everybody's a critic
I think in order to have a truer sense of just how potentially horrible this may be we would need to know the species of your parrot. I just hope he/she isn't an African Grey, that would be devastating.sbfluter wrote:Those of you who have dogs or cats who run away from your whistle or flute or fiddle or whatever playing just don't have it as bad as me.

This thread is useless without video.
I know practicing at my desk is the sure-fire way to drive my cat out from behind the laptop, which she routinely overheats.

Re: Everybody's a critic
Back when we had cathode ray monitors, one of our cats used to love sitting on top of the warm monitor. We all thought it was cute until one day there was an awful phenolic smell and plumes of greenish/blackish smoke pouring out of the monitor which had catastrophically overheated.Mockingbird wrote:This thread is useless without video.

You should trade it in for a Norwegian Blue. They're much quieter.
