  We find explicit solutions for giant magnons and spiky strings on the
squashed three dimensional sphere. For a special value of the squashing
parameter the solutions describe strings moving in a sector of the conifold,
while for another value of the squashing parameter we recover the known results
on the round three dimensional sphere. A new feature is that the energy and the
momenta enter in the dispersion relation of the conifold in a transcendental
way.
