What unique noises do your parrots make

Part of owning a parrot is the fun trying to identity and the origin of sounds.

Well my CAG is currently mimicking the sound of lawn edger hitting concrete sidewalk. Narrowing that down took over 2 weeks. It's a weird noise. The best way to describe it is as a large aggressive dog growling with a throat full of gravel!

Voritex is starting to say 'Birdy' and her microwave beeps are getting better. It's amusing! Charlie is saying 'Hello'.

Ok, I have an irritating situation. We've had just enough rain with small amounts collecting. This means lots of mosquitoes and those biting 'tinies' resembling them. I dugout the bug zapper. After a week my CAG is mimicking that loud electric crackling. Unfortunately she's getting reinforcement to continue. The dogs jump. I start. I only realized that this morning. The number of 'zaps' indicated need to clean. Only a couple of bugs there. Then heard the crackle again with no bug.

Bella my CAG has been imitating the starting beep of my Ninja air fryer.
Perfect tone and length.
I am the only one that uses it so every time I walk past the machine she makes that noise.

I have an electric bug zapper but so far she hasn’t imitated it.

That's an annoying noise! Its amazing how CAGs can imitate those kinds of sounds. Let's hope they never learn to imitate a smoke alarm going off- that's the worst sound of all!

TOO LATE! First it was the low battery alarm. Just to watch us dig out ladder to replace. Then came the actual alarm. She'd mimic the different locations perfectly. Smoke detectors are removed, battery free!

Kent my GCC says "chirp" he doesn't actually chirp he says the word "chirp" because I say it back to them.

Ollie makes a happy noise when you come to say hello after being gone that sounds a bit like a grunting cat. I don't know if it's unique or not.

What happened to the baby budgie? We never got an update. Don't feel bad if he didn't make it. They're delicate tiny creatures.
