Chattering Lory, 18yrs old (Sweet Pea)
Sometimes when Sweet Pea is hanging out with my husband, she will yell "CINDY!!" "CINDY!!" ---- When I answer back, she lowers her voice and says "bye-bye, bye-bye".... :rolleyes:

She calls my husband "Daddy" and when she's with me, she'll ask "What's the Daddy doing?"

Rosie calls to me all the time XD If I leave my room and she wants me to come back or if she here's me around the house. She isn't very loud, but I recognize her calling. She peeps/chirps, sometimes I'll start to leave my room and say "i'll be right back" or "bye bye Rosie" and she always peeps a few times.

Sweet pea sounds cute, I love when parrots talk :D

Awww, Rosie's cute. Even after all these years, I am still amazed at how interactive parrots are. If I'm leaving the room just for a few minutes, I'll tell Sweet Pea "I'll be back in a minute"... and she does seem to understand. Other times, she'll be calling out in a searching tone of voice "HIIIII, HIIIII" I call back to her "HI!" Then she says in a demanding tone of voice "Come Here!! Come Here!!"

XD I love that she says come here, you should try to get it on video!

Rosie has varying peeps/chirps, sometimes if I run out of my room without saying anything she sounds desperate and unhappy so I make sure to run back to give her a proper farewell even if I was only planning on being gone for a couple minutes XD When I'm around the house and I whistle a single uplifting note to her and she calls back with her peep.

Oh my goodness, that's a riot the way Ozzie does a high pitch scream to call you! Hopefully when he starts talking, he'll call you in a more pleasant sounding way, lol! ;)

Lucky, Quaker, abt 18/male?
Previous birds: 2 Quakers, 2 budgies, Nanday conure, Indian ringneck, 2 tiels, Red Lory, 300+ finches.
Lucky calls us Michael, after one of the twin boys in the house she came from. So we get Michael, Michael, MI-chael!! MICHAEL!!

What?

HI!!

Sometimes when we finally ask what she says 'where's Patrick?'
Patrick was the other son in the house. We always tell her Patrick's at work.
Lucky likes to yell Michael when she sees us working outside too.

I had a red lory, Poppy, who would call us over by dog-whistling, and say come here, come here, SIT!!

My Amazon calls "Mom...Mom!" with urgency..to get my attention. If I don"t respond fast enough...he starts shouting "Help! Help!" When I go to him...he calmly says "Hello" and laughs!

1 red bellied parrot (Mango), 3 cockatiels (Bugsie, Alfie, and Bananas)
Mango has a pathetic sounding little peep he makes when he wants us to come over. He also does it if he is begging for treats or wants something we have. If we ignore it he gets louder and more irritating over time. Sometimes he will say "Hey!" as we walk away if he wants to come with us.

What's the question? Do they know when they're calliing you? Of course..They know your name better than you know theirs.
