Red face CD's for birds to train singing?

I've heard of individuals who use cd's to help their birds learn to sing tunes. I was wondering if there is specific music geared towards birds? Perhaps classic songs where the chorus is emphasized or played in a more pronounced manner to help the bird pick up the tune?

I've looked into feathered phonics but that is specifically for speech. Any ideas?

OUU.... I'm interested in this too... I have a two conures who scream so it would be good to get them doing other sounds too, mine probably wouldn't do tunes but even prettier sounds would be lovely.....

I'm interested if there is anything good as well...

As far as I know, the only "tunes" to try and help birds learn how to sing are those for canaries... or p*maybe* a whistle cd for cockatiels? Otherwise, I don't know of any media for *parrots* to learn songs... and even if they listened to it, they may never pick it up.

I like a variety of music myself, from rock & roll to opera and so I have that kind of music on cd's. The other day I had 2 Charlotte Church cd's on the carousel and afterwards Hiccup had his own little song. He seems to like the Beach Boys too. But years ago I bought the canary cd just to listen to their songs.

A lot of people seem to use cd's with easy to sing songs for kids. I'd personally go crazy with old mcdonald on repeat over here. :D
