Young Sennie Vocals and Biting

[Miss Feathers' Human]

Hi all,

I recently bought a Sennie (day 4 today), named Miss Feathers, and I realized she's still quite a baby, +- 1 years old.

She doesn't have a vast sound range and it can be hard to tell if she's purring or growling. But a lot of the time she'll perk up with lots of throaty noises (the sound she uses the most) if I look at her while she's on my shoulder or make chirpy sounds when walking toward me.

I learned that she's hungry when she starts to attack my hand and put her back in her cage to eat, but she never bites hard or draws blood (Not me anyways. My husband says she bit him rather hard a few times).

What I want to know is at what age her vocal range will start to increase? I've looked for videos to clarify her growly purrs and head bobs but I only found one that looked very much the same and that's 8 week old babies.

Also, will her bites get harder over time?

Some parrots talk a lot, some a little and some never talk. And its not by species either. My buddy had a sennie who talked quite well. My 'zon Salty can talk pretty well but does it sporadically. He sings quite well tho, as a lot of Amazons do.

It’s possible for bits to get harder especially once hormones kick in
And my first sennie perce would kinda talk “night night” “ayo” (yellow/hello depending on how it was said) and he’d whistle some really cute tunes but he was also a super loud screamer my second is a 17+ female skeeter she’s more laid back quieter in general never really screams just does like crocking voice when she wants something (reminds me of an old grumpy grandma in movies but doesn’t make any attempt in speaking though I do catch her whistling occasionally
