Songs that have a sentimental value to you.

Ugh lol I feel like a wuss mentioning this. 'Snow' (Hey Oh) by the Red Hot Chili Peppers nearly brings me to tears every time I hear it because of a bird I had once.

A few years ago a friend ended up with a baby dusky headed conure and couldn't have him so he got left with me. At first I just wanted rid of him but he grew on me. We named him Vern and he was the sweetest thing, he'd wonder all over my apartment, get into whatever and come beg at you if he thought you had food, especially burritos lol. You can't really understand how much having a small parrot is like having a toddler child unless you've had one.
Well for whatever reason he loved that damn song, it was his favorite. If he heard it he'd jump around and sing along with it and if you shut it off he'd act like a brat for an hour.
He had to stay with my mom for awhile when my ex and I lost our apartment and she had ferrets. One day someone let him out to explore the room and my mom didn't realize and let the ferrets out and left the door open.....

I feel silly saying it but losing Vern felt like I would imagine losing a child would feel. Any time I hear that song I think of him dancing around acting stupid to it. I'm not really sure I'll ever love another animal as dearly as I did him.

RIP Vern

On one hand that is really sad, but on the other hand the thought of him singing along to "Snow (Hey Oh)" brought a smile to my face. Birds can be very entertaining. This reminds me of the little parrot on Youtube that sings "Bodies" by Drowning Pool.
