- I now have a young Hahn's macaw. I used to have a Pacific Parrotlet that lived until almost 15. Before that I had a budgie.
My husband and I have a young Hahn's macaw. He's about 8 months old now. Since a couple of months ago he started to make a variety of wildly crazy noises at night. He's relatively quiet during the day. I know because I'm home with him, usually in the same room. The major difference is that at night my husband is home, too, and often we have the TV on, but he'll still make all the wild noises even if the TV isn't on.
Just a few examples of his vocalizations include meowing like a cat, making rooster calls, barking, laughing, saying "Uh huh", "Uh? Uh? Uh?", "Awwwwwwwww!", "Ouwwwwwwwww!" "Step Up. Step Up", monkey-like sounds (eat eat eat eat), even a pig snorting (hubby taught him that one), and much more. Is this usual?
Even if we put him in his cage and cover it, the vocalizations continue until any noise is stopped and maybe even the lights are out. Sometimes I wonder if he's going to have a sore throat in the morning.
