Baby Einstein - Baby Mozart - Music Festival [DVD]

Upon the recommendation of a friend who uses Sesame Street with her parrots with good results, I decided to look around for some learning type dvds for toddlers. I decided I did not want to go with Sesame Street for a few reasons, first of all, I cant stand that annoying childrens music and I sure as heck didnt want our sweet little African Grey boy picking up on any of that. ;) Also, I dont see the point in dvds that feature a lot of humans for educating and entertaining parrots. Baby Einsteins Baby Mozart was a perfect choice that met all of our criteria: lack of humans (just a couple of hands and a short clip of a human baby at the end), beautiful classical music, brilliant colors and interesting objects. Greys tend to be a bit neurotic, and my little boy has a bad habit of screaming and biting his nails whenever I have to leave the room if he is not allowed to shoulder constantly. Baby Einstein Mozart held his attention and entertained him very well starting the first night we used it! Id say this is a very good product for reducing stress with a Grey. Frequent repetition of this DVD is the key to getting, and holding the attention of a Grey, in our experience. I set it on repeat and let it loop over and over again and I suggest you do the same if you get this for your parrot. Remember, dvds arent babysitters, the parrot will learn best if you are actively involved in the dvd watching with him/her at least some of the time. The best thing about this video, other than being really effective with our little parrot boy, is that its not at all annoying for the parrot parents! Even looped over and over again, it will not drive you mad.

My daughter loves her Baby Mozart. She dances to the music, she points to the objects on the screen, she loves the sights and sounds, and she intently watches for the whole half-hour. You can just see he little mind working, just wondering how those objects move! Of all the Baby Einstein options, I would recommend this one as #1!

My twin 4 month old boys are mesmerized watching this video. My husband and I wish we thought of it as it is still a wonder to us that it is such a successful video. However, the babies love it and thats what matters. Id give it 5 stars based on the babies thoughts but not mine and my husbands. After a while, youll find yourself watching along.

Awesome

I have bought this dvd when my baby was about 8 months old and finally got to put her down for more than a couple minutes. My baby was the time that loved to be held, and hated being away from people, but the first time we put her in the bouncer and put the dvd in, WOW. She was mesmerized. She watched the video through. Even now at nearly 14 months, if the dvd player is turned on, she gets a big grin on her face, and that turns into a giggle when she sees the disney logo and baby einstein catapiller. Great buy.

Grand baby loved it!

I got this as a baby shower gift. The content of this DVD doesnt seem that great. Its just music with a bunch of toys or other objects being flashed on the screen. I definitely wouldnt consider it educational. I first showed it to my daughter when she was 3 months and she could barely pay attention through the open credits. Then I tried a month later and she was more interested and watched the whole thing while I was able to make dinner. Recently I discovered that it is very useful for getting her to sit still and let me clip and file her nails! For that purpose alone, its great b/c she never sits still very long for me to do this and wakes up if I try to do it in her sleep. However, now that she is 5 months, she doesnt seem as interested in watching the entire thing. She seems to watch it only about halfway to 2/3.

Babies and toddlers love these

My son is a few months old and he enjoys listening to the music. He pays attention during the whole show and follows the movement on the screen.
