noise

so i'm lucky enough to bring lola (GW macaw) to work where she used to be good as gold, shed let off the odd squawk as expected from a parrot but just recently she is getting worse. i can see people are getting a little fed up with it (which you cant blame them for) and i'm afraid that if she...

1. Easy Pet Bird and Parrot Characteristics Comparison Chart 2. Parrot Species Comparison Chart ?.Compare The Most Popular Parrot Species! One of them claims that some species of Amazons, and African Greys, vocalize less than lovebirds, cockatiels, or Quakers. That there's some species of...

I'm meeting someone tomorrow to pick up a female red-lored amazon, and the current owner promised me that the parrot will be quiet. According to him, she will not go on screaming fits as I know most parrots are known to do. Are female red-lored amazons generally loud or quiet? By LOUD, what I...

I've read that Amazons and African Greys don't need to be hand fed or previously tamed to tame them; as long as they weren't horribly abused. That they're cognitive functions are so high to a point that they will quickly understand that their new owner desires to keep them safe and happy. But I...

I was wondering if anybody else has that problem. We have a forced air heater in our home - it's only a couple of years old and in my opinion doesn't make much noise, but my birds start chirping every time it goes off at night! I cannot tell for the whole night, but until around 1-2am when I go...

My parrot is constantly screaming. Every five minutes, theres a loud scream coming from the living room. I'm okay if she would only do it every now and then, as that's normal, but it's very excessive. Her previous owners would give her attention when she would scream, so she learned to scream...

I just brought home a 6 year old female Eclectus who I bought from a woman :red1: who could no longer have her for health reasons. Her name is Angel, and she's warming up slowly. She doesn't seem to talk much. When I first got her she would scream a lot to get my attention, but now that she's...

Good Morning! I currently have four budgies, and am considering buying one or two cockatiels. Right now I'm still in the research & supplies collecting stage, but I just had a question about their noise level. From what I understand, they aren't extremely loud, as compared to some of the larger...

Just wanted to get some input on the subject of squawking. I'm loving my new little guy! We received the results of the DNA testing last week, and he is indeed a boy! Now to think of a name….. Anyway, I have done a bit of reading online on how to discourage squawking and screeching. Ignore...

I recently started a full-time babysitting job and the family has a pet macaw. I've never really been around birds before and I'm interested in a lot of her body language, and what it all means. The bird is named Lucy. She seems very protective of the family, she threatens to bite anyone that's...

I have had my GCC for about a month or so. And he doing fabulous, people are amazed at how long I've had him and how well behaved he is. He goes to stores with me and everything now. But I have heard that GCC are noisy and loud but Buddy my GCC isn't noisy at all is that good? He only makes...

Hi, I just wanted to ask some advice really regarding the male eclectus. I currently have a male green cheek conure who I love to bits, an I really would like to add a male eclectus to our crew :)! I live in a very nice apartment an even when Cricket, my GCC, screeches I get no complaints...

Hi guys, I have been seriously considering adopting an alexandrine into the family. I have been doing quite a bit of research and I'm quite excited about this however I live in suburbia and have heard quite consistently that these birds can be noisy so I just wanted to ask all you Alex owners...

I recently adopted a 6 month old Green Cheek Conure, he is totally adorable and sweet. My main concern with him is how loud he can get. He was silent the entire first day I had him except for when I went to put him to bed. He squawked and screamed for about 45 minutes. I know this is common, but...

I joined this forum to ask for advice regarding my 13 year old senegal parrot. I've had Emi since I was 11 years old, and she is very important to me. My parents have been looking after her since I moved out. Not only do I miss her and want to be able to see her more regularly, but my parents do...

Hi all, My 9 month old Severe, Ollie does a few strange things.. I haven't owned a bird before so I wanted to check in and see if these things are normal. Ollie eats and drinks just fine, still trying to transition to pellets but eats oatmeal, fruits, veggies, nuts etc. I have noticed that only...

Hi everyone! I'm a fairly new bird owner. I've had Paco, half moon conure, for about 8 months. I'm still learning a lot about how to care for him and train him. Before I got him, he hadn't really been handled or played with at all. We've come a long way and he will now step up and down...
