Hens are as chatty as males but they don't softly warble as much as males. Males chirp a lot too but don't "scream" as much.
Oh wow! This changes a lot about what I knew about budgie vocalizations. I was warned of nipping and always heard and read “hens are bullies!” “Hens are quiet.” “Hens are not ideal if you’re looking for a companion” from articles, videos, people, etc. this is super cool!Not all hens nip but most tame males don't nip. Most males don't chew up everything in sight. My girls chew on soft (pine) wood like ladders and perches until they're shredded but that's because the girls excavate the nest holes. Chewing is a very strong instinct for female budgies.
