My blue crown is not loud at all. I think of him as calm, cool and collected, but he IS a chatterbox. Even when we are in the car and he is in his carrier in the back seat, if I call him, he answers me and will yell "you're a good boy' about 2 or 3 times, for good measure, LOL. He makes mostly cooing, oohs and aahs, and says a few words and phrases. He also chatters in his conure talk, but totally takes the tone of a human conversation. It is so cute.
