Sounds like a plan!  And the best part is that it's free, but you want to arrive early enough to be seated in the choir.  Awesome!

I have my precious "Ruby-bird" and two parakeets to sing songs to me...now Ruby, he likes to inmitate and get you to imitate sounds and then he looks at you an warbles out the prettiest little song as if, betch ya cant' do that one..and he's correct..it's impossble for an human to do. He's quite the bird, he rocks up and down and side to side on music he likes.Ruby is the same kind of bird that some scientist's taught to talk, and he then discribed his expereinces in English of being an bird.  He died recently and they don't know from what, but the entire staff they said was just "heart broken", he's last words to them that night, was "goodbye, see you tomarrow, I love you". Ruby is an parrot sub-species from the Indonesia area. I would love to get him another mate, but she's about $1,500.high price "call-bird"(girl).. huh!) if you ever buy an bird, know  that "hand fed" means they can usually talk. Ruby doesn't eat bird food, he eats an white powder like susbtance that is Nectar powder and vitamins...I have to order it from California now.... but he loves the latest junk right along with us most the time...and the "ladies" I might add also. Can't you hear him blowig "kisses" to me...its' Spring.
