I knew I forgot somebody! Thanks
Yes I totally agree... that's why I tried to put "the truth" in parentheses. I find it surprising that the Pyurrha conures are commonly listed as good apartment birds. They can be pretty loud. My linnies, too, were listed as one of the quietest pet bird species (aside from finches). They're still really vocal and they can make my eardrums buzz if they want to. While budgies are small and not very loud in volume, they have a near constant chatter which can drive some people nuts. It just goes to show that a "quiet" parrot is still pretty vocal.
