Senegal related question

Does anyone know what the difference between a scream, a screech, and a normal hi pitch vocalization should sound like?

Rio has started to make this sound, it's pretty hi pitched. I've heard her make it before but thought maybe she got startled by something. But now she is doing it more and more. I don't want to ignore her, but I don't want to rush to see if she is okay too and therefore encourage her. Or it could just be normal Sennie vocals. Any suggestions?

Rio says "hello"

My bird does three distinct vocalizations.

A quieter rising high pitched "Squeak!" which I think he just does as part of his normal day to day social vocalizations. It is the most common one he does and several softer versions of it at high and lower pitch.

A discordant high to lower (but still high) pitched noise which I believe he does as more of a call when I walk away and am out of his sight. It is his loudest noise.

The third is pure protest when he is not happy. He does it when the conures are being loud or he sees something he does not like. Another discordant but mono-pitched "Sheeeeeeek!" It is quieter than his call but sounds a lot harsher to the ears.

My first Senegal did the first two but I never heard her make the protest noise that I can remember.

Rio is just finding her voice. I've only had her for 3 weeks now. She is 4 months old. She does one sound similar to a cockatiel, then she has a really low almost like coo or gerbil sound, it's like a baby sound. Sometimes she sounds like a robot, like she is trying to say something. one day i thought she said "rio" but it caught me off guard so i am not sure. Then there is the hi pitch screeeech, I guess it's like a protest sound, is that a scream because she also does it when I leave the room, but she will also do it when I am in the room so I'm confused as to what it means.
