Bird and baby.
At first, this beautiful cockatiel just sits and stares lovingly at the sleeping baby girl. It doesn’t take long, however, for him to want to do more than just stare at her.
Good morning, beautiful!
After the bird has awoken the baby from her nap, he begins to sing to her. What a lucky baby to hear such a sweet lullaby! Studies have shown that babies can hear sounds from their environment, even while they are still in the womb.
So, for this baby, the harmonious sounds of this cockatiel’s lullaby are comforting and calming, since she’s been exposed to them while in the womb and since birth.
Lullabies
Besides sounding relaxing and beautiful, lullabies have other benefits:
- Lullabies stimulate the auditory, visual, and language centers of the brain, thus stimulating the young child’s brain.
- Soothe and calm a baby through their melodies and rhythms.
- Help the baby develop feelings of trust and assurance by allowing the baby to feel safe and cared for.So, just by doing what comes naturally to this Cockatiel, he’s actually helping this infant in many ways!
