A whispering tiel might be a good tiel, Jessica. I had no idea that Dawn was "mute", but that is not a bad thing. Her beauty overrides any other issues that she has, for sure. She is precious. Our Milly makes the screetching sounds, but she definitely does not talk. I posted a couple more videos of Roger "wooing" her today under Popcornbird's thread with her videos of Popcorn and Muffin. Roger is definitely the vocal one in our family

Perhaps you should attempt the piano with those beautiful fingers!!! On one of my gardening boards, a lady who is retired is learning to play the piano!!!
