Penelope: 12 year old Quaker Parakeet rescue//
Günter: 3 month old Peachfaced Lovebird
Is it just me, or do you other parronts find that, after time, the noise does not bother you at all? Penelope is a loud Quaker. She screams in the morning; she screams at night; she screams when she wants attention and when I come home, and whenever she feels like it. My neighbor has a Umbrella Cockatoo that screams constantly, and Gunter has his moments of loud chatter.
None of it phases me anymore. At all. I was in a pet store today, and people were cringing and glaring at the Hahn's Macaw and Mitred Conure sharing a play stand and screaming at the top of their lungs, and It hadn't even registered to me that they were being loud (also, they were OMGSUPERCUTE and I wanted to take them both home, but I digress). The staff were apologizing to everyone and I was just like "oh, look who's feeling their wheaties today." My friends constantly ask me how I put up with the noise, and I wonder what noise until they point at Penelope. Am I just getting deaf, or is this a parrot owner trait?
