I bet that's interesting. We have an awesome caique at the shop I work at (if I had the money, he'd be mine) that kind of started doing the same over the summer. He became rather....fond of one of my coworkers hand while she was holding him....if you know what I mean. He also became aggressive with certain people, but is generally a people "person"AttackFish;2395673; said:Very nice.
I have a male yellow collar macaw who's going through puberty right now.

Caiques? Not from what I've heard. If another bird is being loud, they like to join in, but generally they're quiet, but very active. In the morning, they whistle a lot for attention. The one at the shop does several different whistles as well as a growl and is beginning to say a couple of wordsLouie;2397241; said:from what I understand they are very loud , more so than most birds?
Actually she isnt as bad as I was expecting. Yes she is very loud when she does scream I can hear her easily outside of my house when I am sitting in the car but she only really does it in the morning when we wake up and when she is going to bed. Right now at work we have 2 sun conures and I would mutch rather deal with a macaw then them. And she has been replacing the screaming alot with words instead. She says hello all of the time and is starting to say whats that. Then she also says step up and ouch she learned this from my mom b/c she always used to bite her and my mom would say ouch everytime it was funny whe she was getting her wings clipped she said ouch it was just the perfect timing.Louie;2397241; said:from what I understand they are very loud , more so than most birds?
