loud baby birds...

[havergara]

is it normal for baby birds to be loud?

i checked their crops to see if their out of food but it is still full...

 

[Abzeez]

I am pretty sure it is normal for all babies to be loud.

thank you!

A well fed contented baby is normally quiet & shouldn't make much noise at all until feeding time. If a baby isn't emptying out & has say a crop infection yes they can be very stressed & be very noisy.

Some baby birds are real whingers like the lorikeets & ringnecks. I am not able to comment on the Blue Naps as i have never raised them.

thanks sir pedro...

i have another question, there are times that one of my baby parrots get too noisy even if its crops are full, then after awhile, it will stop and i have observed that its crop went small..

does the crop take time before filling its stomach again? have you encountered this already?

 

[Pedro]

Normally when a chick is fed & has a full crop they will carry on for a little before they settle down to sleep, probably about for 30 minutes. It's also a good idea while they a small to cover their cage so they can sleep after feeding, they will settle quicker as well. I always keep my babies in a quiet dark room until they are ready to venture out on their own.

I agree with what Pedro said....Most of the babies I raised quiet down after feeding except some.

 

[havergara]

what i did with mine is that a wrapped their cage with a thick cloth, in this way, this can also add some temperature...

 

[MikeyTN]

You did get them out of that cage right?

 

[havergara]

yeah i did... i went to the garage and looked for that old speaker box i used before... the box is not painted so, that's okay right?
