So here's a story -

Since I go my baby, she makes 'puppy' noises.

Now that she's growing and getting a LOT more vocal, her 'puppy' sounds are even more prominent. There's normal eccie chatter too but are the puppy cries common?

Baby Pickles birth history:
Bird baby was born to a dad who owned a male pet bird, when he became a family man his pet started plucking, the solution, eventually, was a girlfriend. The girlfriend was feisty and unfriendly so they were popped into an aviary- all conditions being perfect, babies followed. The daddy is NOT a breeder, babies were the side spin of what was a recommended solution for unhappy pets.

That's the short side of the birth history . ... here's the spinner - the 'mom' breeds dogs. Pickles was born into a 'kennel'.

Bird baby siblings have been reported making puppy noises and there's a debate on - are the puppy noises a normal noise for the species, or have the babies picked it up from the kennels?

LOL...early 'imprinting' :D and a clever little girl sounding like a puppy. So, Pickles begins her 'chatter' repertoire. Ellie is so clever that she actually whines like our chocolate lab, knowing full well that the 'whine' will get immediate attention :D. She also imitates the local frogs and has everyone looking around to see where a frog could possibly be in the middle of the shopping district of town.
 
I'm going with clever little girl!

Normal is what is seen as getting the wanted response!

Are any of these sounds normal? :D
 
When birds chatter ridiculous things, even low and unintelligible...not speaking but just muttering and mumbling...

I always consider that the sign of a healthy and contented bird.

Is it healthy when the mutter at you when you walk past them? Any time I walk past Paprika in her cage she mumbles something...

Basil is a very quiet bird. He talks and whistles when he is alone or thinks he is alone. And he clucks at night when he wants there to be quiet so he can rest.

I love when Jasper chatters and makes little noises. Especially early in the morning when he's being very quiet. It's so cute :D
