I suppose if you got enough birds and enough guitars, they'd eventually record the complete works of Jimi Hendrix Very Happy

That is really interesting. I'd have never thought of that myself. I enjoyed the sounds they made as they hopped about.

Thanks for posting the link Very Happy

That was fun. 40 wild birds playing a Gibson Les Paul. I had birds like that when I was like 14 years old. In a cage, from a petshop. They're wild in a sense they can't really be tamed.

The sound they make can be heard in the video. A real friendly little "pip" "pip" , interlaced with an occasional "p'teedle-iddle-peep". My, I hadn't heard that for ages.

They're called zebravink in dutch.
