When does your parrot(s) like to vocalize the most?

[wrench13]

Salty is not a loud parrot, generally, but hands down when Geri ( wife) is preparing dinner - you know, running water in the sink, chopping, banging pots and pans around, is when Salty will run through his catalog of words phrases and sounds , several times too, if she is making something complex. Laughs, songs, words, you name it. BUT only if I am not in the room. If i come in, he pipes down and all he wants is to be on my shoulder .

So when is your parrot loudest??

My budgies are vocal basically all day, Lovebird is vocal only in the afternoon/evening, cockatiel is vocal dawn and dusk.

When I run the vacuum. [emoji23][emoji23]. She might have learned it from the dogs, who bark their fool heads off yet while time, although I try to avoid vacuuming when they're here.

Other than that I don't really know since I'm out of the house much of the day. She calls when I leave the room and she used to sing to me while I napped, but she hasn't done that lately.

My bird's loudest from sunrise to sundown...

Kiwi vocalizes his loudest when we both (my husband and I) leave the house together. "What the flock?! Hey guys, you FORGOT somebody!!!" Oh, and when I shower, he likes to wolf whistle loud enough I'm sure the neighbors can hear him and says "hellooooooo" repeatedly:34:

Of course, he has his moments at other times, but is genuinely an exceptionally quiet parrot.

Peanut is the loudest in the morning for about a half hour and it's not pleasant. She likes to sit on my shoulder and whistle as loud as she can. One day the birds outside scared her so I told her not to worry about those bad birds. Well she picked up on the words "bad birds" so now if I say that she starts screaming and looking all over for the bad birds.

Other than that she's very quiet. Sometimes when she's on my shoulder in the car or on her swing she makes the cutest, softest little sounds. I could listen to it for hours. Unfortunately she doesn't do it for long.

6:00 AM and when I'm in the kitchen and they can't see me, talk about loud!

Parker is loudest when we get up in the morning, when we haven't had a chance to get to him yet. Classic ekkie two pulsed contact calls every 30 seconds ��

Or when he sees one of us working in the back yard. Then suddenly we are intruders to be scared off.

Happy thinks she has to over talk me when I'm on the phone. She has to join in on the conversation.
Tesla screams at the vacuum. Lol, it's amazing how fast you can vacuum with a Macaw screaming at you.

They're really only markedly noisy when I talk on the phone in the room. Not really at the usual times that many parrots vocalize, but at random intermittent times during the day. The imdividuals who are more vocal usually make noises that are easy enough to ignore. It's never as bad as when I'm on the phone though. That's the time it gets obnoxious.

Sometimes when I have a day at home, and I need to make some important (serious) phone calls... I try to spend more time with the birds by doing some work in the room and making my calls there. That is the only time they all go spastic. No one has ever commented, but I always wonder if the person on the line is thinking "what in the heck is going on over there and what is making those ungodly noises?!?!"

Morning.
My cockatiels are noisy till I leave the house for work (11:00 am ish).
Amazon (Pacho mostly) in the morning when I leave the living room for any reason).
Bingo is mostly quiet except when my wife is using Skype to talk to her family.
Bella talks all the time except she tends to be quieter when in my Son's bedroom.

Late morning, like around lunch time, and early evening, after they eat dinner and the sun starts to set. My living room sounds like a bird sanctuary full of really odd birds, lol. You'll hear everything from a flight cage with 7 budgies (6 males and 1 female, so it's LOUD) just going on and on and on (you can't tell what they're saying) to my green cheek saying "Gimme kisses!" and screaming "MY BABY!!!", to a Senegal parrot wold-whistling and making kissing noises, to my Quaker parrot newly becoming a sarcastic jerk. He now says "OUCH! NO BITES!...OUCH!" over and over again. It's really very funny to him, he dances while he says it .

I somehow ended up with a male Green Cheek Conure, Quaker Parrot, Senegal Parrot, and 6 budgies, and only a female cockatiel and 1 female budgie. I don't know is I subconsciously was trying to punish myself or if it's just a cruel joke, but my house is LOUD right after lunch and dinner. Like loud enough for me to go downstairs to my workshop and work on restoring and repairing guitars and building reptile enclosures during those two times of the day. The power saws are quieter than my birds, I can actually hear them OVER the power tools from a floor away.

Ellen - you repair guitars? I have a 2006 Fender American Deluxe w/maple neck. the guitar neck is bowed and likely needs the truss adusted. With the body in my arms , which way do it turn the truss screw? Strings tight or not?
