    My dentist had a cockatiel that lived in the office. That bird was exceptional. He would greet everyone, sit on your finger, put his head down for a pet and kiss you if you were up to it. He had favorite patients but he was lovely with everyone who was open to his attentions. Kids adored him! Did wonders for calming very nervous patients.

  • @PhantomPhoenix105
    @PhantomPhoenix105 6 лет назад +461

    That comment you made about african greys that copy other birds really brought back memories. I had an african grey and a citren crested cockatoo as a kid. The cockatoo would scream constantly, and me and me brothers, being little kids didn't seem to understand that telling him to be quiet didn't make things any better. Sure enough, the grey started to scream and honk like the cockatoo, and she sounded exactly like him. But you could tell it was her, because every time she would scream like him, she would follow it up with, "Peter, be quiet!"
    There's my bird story. I miss having them, they certainly do have a whole lot of attitude

    • @thetechgenie7374
      @thetechgenie7374 6 лет назад +14

      Sabreena Floyd When you don’t want a Cockatoo to scream. You have to not give it attention during that time. By yelling, or yelling the bird to be quiet will enforce the behavior and they learn to scream to get attention, same goes for biting. My cockatoos rarely scream during the day except when customers as take them to work with me and usually the birds copy kids especially play, or cry and then they try to mimic them.

    They are amazing pets, but they are loud. Not noisy. I have one. She isn’t constantly making noises like a lovebird or budgie. But when she wants to get loud, she’ll get loud! Mine is attached to me, and I believe she thinks I’m her mother, because I have raised her since she was 4 weeks old. You have been warned...

    @clairewagenblast2170 6 лет назад +146

    To everyone saying stuff like "My (insert bird that was brought up in video) is so loud! Wdym" it's a scale 1-5. If you have ever heard a cockatoo scream, then I can assure you, your budgie is a 1 lol. All birds are loud, she is just relling you the one's that will most likely work the best. All birds are different, and this is mainly based on the general loudness of a bird, but, they vary. So, there is no way you are going to get a bird that doesn't talk or chatter.

    • @magikexpert
      @magikexpert 4 года назад +9

      You're absolutely right! No two birds are alike. You can have two birds from the same clutch, and they can be completely opposite in temperament or personality. But what she's doing here is giving a general description of each type of bird and how they act. And Claire is absolutely right. EVERY bird will make some type or types of noises and or talk. To what degree yours will????

    • @cheshireterror624
      @cheshireterror624 4 года назад +4

      Yeah, cockatoos and macaws are definitely the worst for noise, I lived with a psychotic cockatoo (who lives with my sister in BC) and currently live with a blue gold macaw, and I personally own a 4 month old cockatiel. The macaw gets loud but so does my cockatiel, the cockatiel is more ear piercing, but the macaw is definitely much louder

  • @eminenceoftheeast
    @eminenceoftheeast 6 лет назад +237

    I’ve had my green cheek conure for twelve years. She started out as the perfect apartment bird, but when she was five, I lived with a (human) couple who would fight a lot. Their fighting led to my conure developing separation anxiety that would cause her to panic scream when she couldn’t see me (it’s very loud for a small bird and neighbours definitely hear it). I moved out as soon as I could, but the damage was done and she still has remnants of that separation anxiety that make her scream from time to time. I recommend, whenever possible, protecting your birds from human drama (e.g., avoiding unstable roommates), not just to keep their noise level in-check, but to keep them mentally healthy generally.

    ☆PLEASE READ IF CONSIDERING BUYING PET BIRD☆
    Just a small note: most if not all conures are really, reaaaaaallllly chirpy. Sun conures, Jenday conjures, and golden conures especially. They are extremely loud for a reason however. Conures are real attention hogs. They love it. One way to overcome the screams and singing is to keep them engaged! Carry them around with you for I recommend as long as you can throughout the day, and when you have to put them in their cage try to give them foraging toys! I wish all owners good luck!

I remember going over to her house and playing with Smokey, who must of been the sweetest bird I've ever met, and she never screamed. She talked alot, mostly like "Smokey want a strawberry" and stuff. My grandma had the bird for about 30 years I believe, but recently passed away. Smokey was given to a family member but was obviously devastated. I hope she will pull through and enjoy the rest of her life, their bond was strong though

    apartment dweller here. i have a very open floor plan (around 700 sq ft), vaulted ceilings, no ceiling fans. all of my babies are flighted. i have 2 cockatiels (both whistle and say "pretty bird". one likes kisses, the other, head scratches), a red bellied parrot (pious family - he is fairly independent but does make several noises and he dances and says many things he learned in his previous homes. he flies into my room every morning and says "good morning" in the sweetest cheerful voice) and a hahn's macaw (literally a full sized macaw in a little bird body - he makes kissy noises, says hello, pretty bird and mimicks several noises he hears me say, he also dances lol). the hahns can be loud, but to be honest, my other 3 birds can rival him.

    I think the Eclectus is a good parrot for apartments. They are not loud, they only get loud if they are suddenly startled by something & they get excited when you come home, they are big greeters. But they are not loud. They are a flock bird, they will include all family members. They don't like a lot of noise and/or chaos. They are very laid back parrots, they can be goofy because they like to see a response from you. They also want attention, affection & interaction, they are very smart & they want to be included in everything. They do require at least 10 hours of sleep & they require a different diet due to their long digestive tract, fiber. But the Eclectus is not a loud bird, my opinion of course & I do favor the Eclectus. Quakers are another good apartment bird. I had a Quaker who was a big talker & he had a huge vocabulary & everything out of his beak was very clear. He was an amazing big talker.

    I had a budgie as a child. It was a great pet! My parents adopted it from a friend when it was around 3-4 years. He lived another 10+ years! He was a very bright bird. He didn’t like to be petted or scratched, but was otherwise very friendly. He liked to play, but wouldn’t bother me if I was busy. We never clipped his feathers because he knew not to fly into the fan. I’d never met another budgie so clever as him. I cried when we found him dead after returning from a weekend with my grandparents. We gave him a Christian Burial and also said a Hebrew prayer just in case.

She is quiet, very rarely screams and if she "screams" it is not even close to the noise my Blue Crown makes. She can be chatty, and when she talks she is very clear. Other bonus, while when out and about she will cuddle with our green cheek, she also still likes hanging out with my husband or I.

He’s very quiet, he doesn’t make a sound until I uncover his cage! If you want a strong bond, only get one bird!! If you get another bird, those two birds will bond to each other and you will lose your bond to that initial bird! It broke my heart when I was given another cockatiel and my Angel bonded to Gabby and then he didn’t want to step up anymore, and when she was on eggs, he’d even attack me…… hope this helps!

Despite being a larger bird, he really was rather quiet most of the time, more so than the 2 cockatiels we had. When he screamed, it was loud obviously, but it happened sooooo rarely. He just chattered a lot. We didn't get to keep him for more than a few years (we sold him to an experienced bird owner), and I've missed him for the last 12 or 13 years ever since. I just hope he's still alive and happy out there.

I am a cat person and part of that is due to the fact that cats are so independent. They don't take a lot of care and take their socializtion when they want it. My personality is so insular that integrating birds into my life would be difficult. I mention all this because you make owning a bird look so rewarding and easy... People need to keep their own temperments in mind because parrots deserve great owners, not just someone who wants one because they seem fun...

      Good for you for knowing your limits! I grew up with cats and switched to birds in my 30s. Some birds are good at self regulating, but many are more attached to their person than the average house cat.

      Well cats can move around freely and even go outside and explore the world. Our beloved birds are in their cages for most of the day.

      Vc it depends on the lifestyle of each home. I know my birds don't spend most of their time in cages.

    Typically the male lovebirds are better at mimicking. My girl, Belle, has picked up the smooching sound of a kiss, clicking sounds, and if she does something funny that makes me laugh she'll copy my laugh. It's hilarious.
