What unique noises do your parrots make

[CowardMan]

Hi all, Going through my memories of my childhood Tiels Cocky and Flo, I was reminded of the racket Flo would make constantly! As youtube didn't exist back then in the late 90's/early 2000's we just assumed it was her singing the song of her people and this was normal for the females. Looking through videos on Cockatiel noises I have yet to found any video of the same noise she would make so still not sure what the noise meant. It was a very loud (louder than anything I've heard on videos of Tiels) noise sounding like her going "eheheheheheheh" full shouting stretching herself as tall as she could no matter if she was in the cage, out the cage, covered or uncovered.

It got me thinking though, with all the tutorials and videos online of noises and their meanings for each species, What calls and noises do your fids make that only they seem to make? Have you over time learnt what that means? Is it something you love to hear knowing it's a unique thing that only your feathered friend does?

Just thought it could be a fun topic for people and who knows maybe find out another person has had their feathery friend make the same noise

Vortex, my wc Pionus 'mews'. It's high-pitched and soft and almost sounds like a cat. She's been making it before I had cats. so it must be a Pionus thing. She also mimics the microwave, LOL!

One of my English Budgies softly croaks like a frog and barks like a dog.

My CAG has a weird squawk. It's halfway between a scream and 'awk' sound. It's loud and piercing. She uses it when a swinging toy bounces back, I'm closing cage door as she's hanging on it etc. She doesn't have to be touched. I have assumed it's her way of giving threat, challenge, warning all at once.

Amazon owners will be able to fill pages of the sounds they make. I would not destroy the ears of our members by recording some of the things that come out of Salty sometimes. From ear piercing, high decibel sounds that make the glassware tremble to low pitch grumbles and everything in between.

My Quaker parrot “ purrs” when he’s really getting into his head scratches. I imagine other birds do this but I’ve yet to hear of one.

Piccolo makes the honk sound our car makes when we set the alarm. He does it perfectly. It's adorable, and he will do any time near the car to enter or exit, or when one of us is entering or leaving house.

Some videos would be nice.
