What is this noise he keeps making?

[Newbsi]

I can't figure out how to upload the video,
Maybe it's too long. Anyhow she makes the repetitive noise if she is awake. Whether she is in her cage, on a perch, on my hand or when she flies to the floor. It's like a 2 syllable chirp grunt squeak (sorry, the best I got). She is 10 weeks old. Senegal

Have you tried uploading to YouTube? Length shouldn't be an issue.

chirp grunt squeak really tells us next to nothing.

If I were to guess, I'd say your baby is begging for food.

Does she have a name yet??

Come on, you know that made you giggle a little

I havent decided on a name.

As far as food, I leave the roundybush pellets in the tray at all times. The breeder gave me some frozen food mix she makes with veggies, rice and who knows what else. He ate some of that last night with a almond but wouldnt touch it this morning. Maybe it was too early for him. We do get up early!

Try heating that up a tad bit. Sounds like a GREAT recipe she gave you there, try and find out what exactly is all in there, so you can have it on hand on a regular basis. Pellets alone won't do.

You can also check out our Recipe section for some phenomenal ideas.

She did give me the recipe and 2 gallon bags full of the frozen food. I did warm it up in the microwave. She said she gives it to them
Warm. I will try again in a couple hours. For now I just want to make sure he is eating. Once I know we are all good, I can get him on our schedule for eating.
This was a wonderful decision. I was really torn up about the cockatiel but this was definitely the right thing to do. Is it horrible I already want another one!?!?!?! Keep your fingers crossed the IRN babies come healthy and soon (it's her first clutch with them). If so, that will be my birthday Christmas present to myself!

Sounds like a funny noise to me! Sometimes bird make funny noises for no good reason. Mine honks like a goose If she is eating, pooping, playing and getting adequate affection, the noise is probably just her being a bird and vocalizing.

 

[JerseyWendy]

Is it horrible that you already want another one? Of course not! I've got my fingers crossed for you for an IRN chick. What mutation is on eggs?

I also hope you’ll be able to handle your Senni as she gets older.

 

[Newbsi]

What do you mean by mutation? Lol, you have to forgive my ignorance

 

[Newbsi]

The birds are slate and olive (If that is what you meant).

I think you nailed it. I believe that sound is the I am hungry sound!

She will make that little growly noise sometimes (seems like when she is tired).

HAHAHAHAH!!! That is adorable! Nah, those aren't hungry sounds at all. She's actively 'communicating' with you in Senni talk. Super cute!!!
