Overall this is a good collection of animal sounds, most of which would be cute to have a parrot reproduce. Unfortunately, the makers apparently felt it was important to fill the CD up, so there are tracks with a human prounouncing various colors, numbers, and food. Although it is fun to hear a parrot name objects appropriately (mine asks for Coca-Cola), I don't believe it would be that interesting if she simply belted out "pears" without context. My only real complaint with this CD are the painfully silly tracks such as a human saying "quack, quack, quack...I'm a duck". Still, there are many high quality animal sounds, and at the end of the day that's why you should buy this.

Feathered Phonics, Volume 3, is advertised as an easy way to teach your bird words and sounds. Well, yes, if you are careful not to bombard the poor bird with the same sound for too long, say, two or three minutes at most. Of course you need a CD player that will repeat a single track.

Still, teaching a bird by associations - by seeing, hearing and sometimes tasting all at the same time is best.

A friend used the CD and was not careful to limit the exposure of a single sound - When the bird now hears the sound of a cow he freaks out!

This is not a CD that you turn on and simply let run, because 96 sounds and words will drive you nuts.

The CD is simply a sound source that you have to work with.

This product was terribly disappointing. It was the human track saying "quack quack quack" and the human sheep saying "baaaa" did it for me...just dumb. I would have given it one star, but I agree with a previous poster that some of the other sounds were pretty good. Not sure it's worth the money tho. IMHO
