noise

Hi guys! We adopted a linnie 3 days ago and she has been adjusting well, but i noticed she sometimes makes a rapid clicking noise and I can't tell whether its positive or negative. So far she has done it when my bf leaned over her cage, or while she was playing with her toy, and when she was...

So, I live near a golf course and some years they have what I call “concert seasons” where there is At minimum 1 concert a week that goes on for hours. The last one was 2020? I think? Every year they have concerts for summer events like 4th of July, cinco de mayo, mothers/Father’s Day, etc. if...

Hi! I want my green-cheek's sleeping place to be in the storage room. It's the only completely dark room in the house. The problem is - there is a boiler (water heater) there and it does this low smooth constant "zzzzhhhhhh" noise. Like a long exhale, similar to the sound of a PC or a strong air...

Today I had my turquoise green cheek out of her cage and I noticed she started to make this noise. While making it I was petting her head and she was in my neck. Does this mean she wants me to stop?

Hello! As all of you know cockatoos can be very very loud. I see plenty of websites making this very well known, and rightly so, as owning a cockatoo isn't for everyone, and needs to be very seriously considered. And maybe I'm just an oddball but is anyone else just completely unbothered/even...

ive had my greenwing 6 years now, I've recently moved in with my partner (who isnt a pet fan let alone parrot fan) and the noise is becoming a problem. the GW doesnt squark a lot, if youre shouting up/down stairs or if new people come in (which isnt really what you want having guests enter). it...

Hello, Purchased a Sun Conure last year. This Sun Conure has bonded with the household. Therefore, she contact calls my roommates when she is on my shoulder if my roommates are out of sight. The Conure also screeches if a truck passes by the house which is problematic as I live in a...

Hello again! So I have a plan to put my IRN in a room upstairs with my bearded dragon. I spend a lot of time in that room so no need to worry about me not socialising with the parrot. The only reason it won't be in the main living space is because my boyfriend records music and wants to still...

Hello! So I have been reading into trying to keep the noise down with an Indian ringneck. I am getting one next year! I know they are loud birds when they want to be and that is fine by me, not so much by my boyfriend but I have looked into other parrots and the loudness is the only downfall to...

Hi there! I just adopted a green cheek conure on Wednesday. She is very used to me as I work at the store I got her from. My question is, I live in an apartment, and I don't want her screaming while I'm at work tomorrow. It will be the first time she's home alone and I don't know how she's going...

My pineapple conure, Polly is around a month old. It's not even a week since she's here at my place. She's my first ever parrot, rather pet so I've had no experience dealing with animals at home. When Polly came, she was really normal I mean happy and cuddly. She is still cuddly and I have faced...

I'm planning to get a Green Cheek Conure but I live in an apartment. I've been doing research but there are so many different opinions on how "loud" a GCC is! I would not risk getting a bird if I am not able to care for it for the foreseeable future, so if a GCC is not right for apartment living...

I have a lineolated parakeet as a pet. I'm also housing two budgies for a few months for a friend. I just moved into an apartment that's above a restaurant and bar. It's noisier than I thought it would be at night, until about 2 in the morning when it closes. It's about as loud as if a noisy...

From the moment I got my Mochi, my green cheek conure, he's always been pretty quiet. I know that green cheeks are considered the lowest noise-level conures, but even then he has been a very silent speaker. Of course half of the time he's usually quacking, or what I like to call a little...

Hello! This is the first time I've posted to any forum in a long while, but I thought it would be extremely helpful to garner some tips. I recently purchased a Peach-Faced Lovebird last Saturday that I have named Palmer. I also purchased the necessities (larger cage, toys, cuttlebone, etc.) and...

Hello all, I have a blue fronted amazon and recently from time to time when he plays, he starts to make some strange noise, which worries me a bit.. I thought maybe it is a reproduction period. He starts to talk and talk and then suddenly starts making this noise.. When I grab a camera to film...

Hi, We have small to medium-sized parrots such as cockatiels, lovebirds, conures, Quaker parakeets and an Indian Ringneck. Some of the cockatiels are quite sensitive to noise and other disturbances and have fairly frequent night frights. We live out in the country, and the existing well doesn't...

Hi everyone. I have been considering adding a sun conure to the family, moreso as my own pet rather than a true family pet (my mum is nervous around birds), and I wanted to get some advice from some experienced bird owners. As I have been told many times that sun conures are noisy, I...

My female lovebird has been making a weird noise at night occasionally. It sounds like a wet/snotty beak grind. Is this wheezing? I posted a video to youtube--its really quiet so you'll have to turn your volume up high. link below Weird Lovebird Noise--Wheezing? Sick? Or Just Grinding -...

Hi! I'm new here so cut me some slack. I've had my rainbow lorikeet for quite a while now. He has started talking and can say a few words, not much though. However, recently he has started making this loud long annoying noise. Its really irritating and especially in the early mornings...

(Condensed, quick to the point version with my questions) Q: Bird gets very loud when im out of her sight. Wings are grown and will also fly to find me. No fans on or anything for this reason. Not sure what to do about the loud screeching. Any help? Q: Very easy to startle her. Sneezing, water...

so i'm lucky enough to bring lola (GW macaw) to work where she used to be good as gold, shed let off the odd squawk as expected from a parrot but just recently she is getting worse. i can see people are getting a little fed up with it (which you cant blame them for) and i'm afraid that if she...

1. Easy Pet Bird and Parrot Characteristics Comparison Chart 2. Parrot Species Comparison Chart ?.Compare The Most Popular Parrot Species! One of them claims that some species of Amazons, and African Greys, vocalize less than lovebirds, cockatiels, or Quakers. That there's some species of...

I'm meeting someone tomorrow to pick up a female red-lored amazon, and the current owner promised me that the parrot will be quiet. According to him, she will not go on screaming fits as I know most parrots are known to do. Are female red-lored amazons generally loud or quiet? By LOUD, what I...

I've read that Amazons and African Greys don't need to be hand fed or previously tamed to tame them; as long as they weren't horribly abused. That they're cognitive functions are so high to a point that they will quickly understand that their new owner desires to keep them safe and happy. But I...

I was wondering if anybody else has that problem. We have a forced air heater in our home - it's only a couple of years old and in my opinion doesn't make much noise, but my birds start chirping every time it goes off at night! I cannot tell for the whole night, but until around 1-2am when I go...

My parrot is constantly screaming. Every five minutes, theres a loud scream coming from the living room. I'm okay if she would only do it every now and then, as that's normal, but it's very excessive. Her previous owners would give her attention when she would scream, so she learned to scream...

I just brought home a 6 year old female Eclectus who I bought from a woman :red1: who could no longer have her for health reasons. Her name is Angel, and she's warming up slowly. She doesn't seem to talk much. When I first got her she would scream a lot to get my attention, but now that she's...

Good Morning! I currently have four budgies, and am considering buying one or two cockatiels. Right now I'm still in the research & supplies collecting stage, but I just had a question about their noise level. From what I understand, they aren't extremely loud, as compared to some of the larger...

Just wanted to get some input on the subject of squawking. I'm loving my new little guy! We received the results of the DNA testing last week, and he is indeed a boy! Now to think of a name….. Anyway, I have done a bit of reading online on how to discourage squawking and screeching. Ignore...

I recently started a full-time babysitting job and the family has a pet macaw. I've never really been around birds before and I'm interested in a lot of her body language, and what it all means. The bird is named Lucy. She seems very protective of the family, she threatens to bite anyone that's...

I have had my GCC for about a month or so. And he doing fabulous, people are amazed at how long I've had him and how well behaved he is. He goes to stores with me and everything now. But I have heard that GCC are noisy and loud but Buddy my GCC isn't noisy at all is that good? He only makes...

Hi, I just wanted to ask some advice really regarding the male eclectus. I currently have a male green cheek conure who I love to bits, an I really would like to add a male eclectus to our crew :)! I live in a very nice apartment an even when Cricket, my GCC, screeches I get no complaints...

Hi guys, I have been seriously considering adopting an alexandrine into the family. I have been doing quite a bit of research and I'm quite excited about this however I live in suburbia and have heard quite consistently that these birds can be noisy so I just wanted to ask all you Alex owners...

I recently adopted a 6 month old Green Cheek Conure, he is totally adorable and sweet. My main concern with him is how loud he can get. He was silent the entire first day I had him except for when I went to put him to bed. He squawked and screamed for about 45 minutes. I know this is common, but...

I joined this forum to ask for advice regarding my 13 year old senegal parrot. I've had Emi since I was 11 years old, and she is very important to me. My parents have been looking after her since I moved out. Not only do I miss her and want to be able to see her more regularly, but my parents do...

Hi all, My 9 month old Severe, Ollie does a few strange things.. I haven't owned a bird before so I wanted to check in and see if these things are normal. Ollie eats and drinks just fine, still trying to transition to pellets but eats oatmeal, fruits, veggies, nuts etc. I have noticed that only...

Hi everyone! I'm a fairly new bird owner. I've had Paco, half moon conure, for about 8 months. I'm still learning a lot about how to care for him and train him. Before I got him, he hadn't really been handled or played with at all. We've come a long way and he will now step up and down...
